Nets goal in Tunisia contest
Brobbey (hamstring) scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target), one tackle (one won) and three chances created in Thursday's 3-1 victory over Tunisia.
Analysis: Brobbey got the call and played 77 minutes despite being a little banged up and found the target with an easy tap-in on a corner kick, improving to three goals in the competition thanks to a brace in the previous game. He has started in consecutive tilts, registering two shots (three total on target) and at least two key passes, racking up five. He'll most likely continue to lead the line given his recent success.
Deemed fit to face Tunisia
Brobbey (hamstring) is fit for Thursday's match against Tunisia, according to manager Ronald Koeman, per Maarten Wijffels of Ad.nl. "Everyone is fit and fully deployable."
Analysis: Brobbey is looking to be in for a return as the Netherlands hope to close the group stage at the top of the group, as the forward recovered from a hamstring injury. This is massive news after he earned a brace in his start last match, likely to compete for the starting role again. If this is the case, he could see a decent chance at another goal against a Tunisia squad that has struggled this World Cup through management changes.
