Ends tournament on pitch
Thiaw recorded one clearance in Monday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout loss versus Paraguay.
Analysis: Thiaw got some time in the final minutes of Monday's match, as he entered with 10 minutes to play in extra time. He would only touch the ball a few times, with seven passes completed and one clearance. This suited the defender for much of the tournament, as he would only feature twice for 40 minutes of play, earning two tackles and two clearances.
Eligible again
Thiaw may be selected in all competitions going forward following his Champions League card accumulation ban.
Analysis: Thiaw has been an ever-present member of Newcastle's back line, so he'll aim to regain a starting spot in upcoming matchups at the expense of either Sven Botman or Alex Murphy. The regular center-back is in solid form with two goals over his last four games in addition to his averages of 4.5 clearances, 1.3 tackles and 1.0 interceptions per contest during that period.
