Three clearances in draw
Chadi Riad registered three clearances, two duels won and two interceptions in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brazil.
Analysis: Brazil didn't look for Igor Thiago throughout the game, so Riad wasn't as busy as one would've expected from a center-back. That said, the Crystal Palace defender did record more stats than his partner on defense, Issa Diop. Riad should remain in the starting lineup for the June 19 matchup against Scotland.
Cramp forces off against Brentford
Riad (cramp) was forced off in the 74th minute of Sunday's clash against Brentford due to cramping, with coach Oliver Glasner playing down any injury concerns after the withdrawal, per BBC. "I think Riad is no issue, just cramping."
Analysis: Riad's early exit prompted no real concern from manager Oliver Glasner, whose comments suggest the substitution was purely precautionary rather than the result of a significant setback. His availability for the final fixture of the season should not be in doubt given the minor nature of the issue, with no further assessment expected to be required.
