Commits three fouls in Croatia bout
Sibo completed 38 passes and had one tackle (zero won) and one clearance in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Croatia.
Analysis: Sibo saw significant minutes for the second fixture on the trot, but wasn't particularly noticeable, other than for his hustle in the midfield and a few hard tackles that didn't really slow down the opponents. It remains to be seen whether he's done enough to remain a regular. He has posted two interceptions, three clearances and two blocks in three showings (two starts).
Plays full game
Sibo recorded two clearances and one interception in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against England.
Analysis: Sibo quietly provided control in midfield, completing all 15 of his passes. Defensively, he added two blocks, two clearances and an interception, although he failed to win any of his five ground duels. He worked the hardest, covering 11 kilometers and maintaining Ghana's structure.
No longer banned
Sibo is back following his ban due to the red card he received against Getafe.
Analysis: Sibo will hope to be restored to his starting role alongside either Santiago Colombatto or Nicolas Fonseca in central midfield in upcoming clashes. This will mainly improve the squad's ball recovery ability, given that Sibo usually plays deep and doesn't get involved in attack.
Red card Sunday
Sibo received a red card in the 77th minute of Sunday's match against Getafe.
Analysis: Sibo is set for a ban in the coming matches, as the midfielder received a yellow card that would be upgraded to a red by VAR. This is a rough loss for the club as they look to close out the season strong despite their relegation, continuing without a regular midfielder. Nicolas Fonseca is a viable replacement while Sibo is out.
