There are 15 Arsenal players involved in the tournament. Here’s how they fared in the first round.

• Katie McCabe, Cloé Lacasse, and Sabrina D’Angelo have been eliminated after the first round.
• Twelve Arsenal players have advanced to the Round of 16, including Steph Catley and Caitlin Foord who lead in minutes played.
• The Round of 16 fixtures have been set with teams like England poised for a strong run.

The following players are now going home: Katie McCabe (Republic of Ireland), Cloé Lacasse and Sabrina D’Angelo (Canada).

Katie McCabe played 307 minutes, scored one goal, and got two bookings as Ireland did well despite finishing fourth in their group with one point.

Cloé Lacasse came on three times as a substitute, playing 149 minutes. Sabrina D’Angelo was unused in the entire tournament as Canada disappointed by finishing third in their group.

They are the first Olympic champions to be eliminated in the first round of the subsequent World Cup. Their constant dispute with Canada Soccer undoubtedly affected their preparation for the tournament.
