Kamaldeen Sulemana

Analysis: Sulemana started Ghana's opening match of the World Cup, occupying the attacking midfield space just behind Jordan Ayew. Despite that advanced role he was not able to contribute much on the attack, failing to record a shot and adding one chance created and one accurate cross. He was subbed off in the 58th minute for Brandon Thomas-Asante who was much more threatening on the attack. With Ghana needing to be more efficient on the attack versus England and Croatia, Sulemana is at risk of losing his place in the starting XI.

Passable performance against Fiorentina

Sulemana registered three shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Friday's 1-1 draw versus Fiorentina.

Analysis: Sulemana resurfaced after seeing very little action in recent months and was rather lively in the final third, matching his season high in shots. He has taken at least one in his last five appearances despite his spotty minutes, accumulating eight attempts (three on target). He paid the price for the competition and an early coaching chance in his first season in Italy, scoring two goals, dishing out one assist and registering 33 shots (11 on target), 14 chances created and 32 crosses (eight accurate) in 34 displays (11 starts).
