Minimal impact upfront
Locadia was subbed off due to injury in the 83rd minute of Saturday's 0-0 draw against Ecuador. He generated one shot (zero on goal) before exiting the match.
Analysis: Locadia left the game with an apparent injury late in the second half, but it remains to be seen whether it was a muscular strain or just cramps. The veteran striker was unable to make much of an impact, as he spent most of the game isolated upfront. His prospects of finding the back of the net won't be much higher in the group-stage finale against Ivory Coast on Thursday, June 25, as Curacao profile as a massive underdog in that game as well.
Unproductive in World Cup opener
Locadia registered one clearance in Sunday's 7-1 loss versus Germany.
Analysis: Locadia was held without a single shot or chance created in a difficult game, with his three fouls drawn making the only highlight of his performance. The 32-year-old was ultimately chosen to lead the front line over Gervane Kastaneer, who had featured in the most recent friendly match. However, both strikers might continue to share playing time for the rest of the tournament.
