Ready for new season
Embolo is ready for the new season and back in Rennes for preseason, according to the club.
Analysis: Embolo finished last season with eight goals and three assists across 31 Ligue 1 appearances in his first season at the club, and remained Switzerland's top offensive contributor at the World Cup with two goals and two assists across six matches, leading the front line into the quarterfinals. His return to club training now shifts focus to preseason preparations as he looks to build on a productive debut campaign heading into the new 2026/27 Ligue 1 season.
Struggles against Colombia
Embolo had two clearances in Tuesday's 0-0 (4-3) penalty shootout win against Colombia.
Analysis: Embolo faced a difficult challenge against center-backs Jhon Lucumi and Davinson Sanchez, and was held without a goal or assist for the first time in the 2026 World Cup after being directly involved in a goal in four straight outings. The striker is still Switzerland's top offensive contributor with two goals and two assists across five matches played, and he should continue to lead the front line in the quarterfinals versus an Argentinian defense that allowed two goals in each of the previous two games.
