Minimal output in draw vs. Brazil

Diop generated one interception in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brazil.

Analysis: The Fulham center-back had minimal impact throughout the game. He should remain in the XI for the upcoming game against Scotland on June 19, but most of his upside should be tied to Morocco's ability to keep a clean sheet. From a tactical perspective, Diop should continue to provide zone coverage while Chadi Riad marks the striker, limiting his involvement in duels overall.

Handed cup start

Diop got the start and played 90 minutes during Wednesday's Carabao Cup win over Bristol City.

Analysis: Diop has gone unused in the first two Premier League matches but was handed the cup start Wednesday. It seems he's fallen way down the pecking order, as he wasn't used in the opener, with Jorge Cuenca coming into the starting XI instead. Diop is going to remain a rotational option with most of his minutes coming in the cups, barring injuries elsewhere.
