Subbed off on Thursday
Khedira recorded one tackle (one won) in Thursday's 3-1 loss to Netherlands.
Analysis: Khedira offered a disciplined presence in midfield, completing 10 of his 13 passes and helping circulate possession before being substituted after 67 minutes. However, he had limited attacking influence and won just one of his three ground duels as the Netherlands controlled the midfield battle.
Limited impact in midfield
Khedira recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 5-1 defeat against Sweden. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 54th minute.
Analysis: Khedira had a difficult evening in Sunday's 5-1 defeat to Sweden, registering one shot off-target as his side's most forward-thinking midfielder in a match where Tunisia were comprehensively outplayed in central areas by a Swedish unit that pressed relentlessly and recycled possession at pace. The midfielder struggled to impose himself in the spaces between Sweden's lines and was unable to provide the creative spark that Tunisia needed to threaten on the counter-attack, with his one shot representing the limit of his attacking contribution in a match where his team managed just six total attempts. His ability to drive forward from midfield and arrive late into dangerous areas gives Tunisia a potentially important option as the tournament progresses, but the collective defensive shape will need to improve significantly around him before his attacking qualities can be expressed more fully.
