Limited impact in midfield

Khedira recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 5-1 defeat against Sweden. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 54th minute.

Analysis: Khedira had a difficult evening in Sunday's 5-1 defeat to Sweden, registering one shot off-target as his side's most forward-thinking midfielder in a match where Tunisia were comprehensively outplayed in central areas by a Swedish unit that pressed relentlessly and recycled possession at pace. The midfielder struggled to impose himself in the spaces between Sweden's lines and was unable to provide the creative spark that Tunisia needed to threaten on the counter-attack, with his one shot representing the limit of his attacking contribution in a match where his team managed just six total attempts. His ability to drive forward from midfield and arrive late into dangerous areas gives Tunisia a potentially important option as the tournament progresses, but the collective defensive shape will need to improve significantly around him before his attacking qualities can be expressed more fully.

Joins World Cup training camp

Khedira (undisclosed) has arrived at the Tunisia training camp for the World Cup, according to Issa Said of Africa Soccer.com.

Analysis: Khedira ended the season on the sidelines after a knock left him out for the season finale. However, the midfielder already seems to be nearing full fitness again after the short break, as he quickly joined his national team's training camp after the season. He is set to be a key midfielder for the team and is set to be a starter, so his availability in training already is bright, likely to start from the beginning of the tournament. That said, he is coming off a solid season where he recorded five goals and one assist in 32 appearances with Union Berlin.
