After missing the opener, Rami was back in central defense and held Villarreal scoreless in Sunday's 0-0 draw. Rami finished with an aerial won in a full 90 minutes.

Rami will be a consistent force in the center of Sevilla's defense this season. And while the clean sheets won't often be there, he'll be a regular starter as long as he can stay healthy.

Rami will miss Sevilla's opener against Espanyol on Saturday due to muscular soreness.

Rami has been out for a couple weeks now and his status remains uncertain for the time being. New manager Jorge Sampaoli would like to get his veteran centre back, back on the pitch sooner rather than later.

Rami made four starts for France during Euro 2016, tallying one assist, two clean sheets, three tackles and two yellow cards on four fouls. He improves to 32 caps and one goal. France suffered an upset 1-0 extra-time loss to Portugal in the final capturing the silver medals.

Rami had a solid debut campaign with Sevilla last season. The 30-year-old center back, though, wasn't very productive only finding fantasy value in clean sheets. He finished the season with one assist, nine clean sheets, 18 tackles and seven yellow and one red cards in 28 La Liga starts.

Rami served his suspension and will be available for selection Thursday versus Germany for the second semifinal of Euro 2016.

Rami hasn't been impressive the competition and it's possible that he doesn't regain his starting spot, with Samuel Umtiti playing well in the quarterfinal alongside Laurent Koscielny.

Rami was given a yellow card on his lone foul and added seven clearances in Sunday's 2-1 Euro 2016 victory over Ireland that sent France to the quarterfinals.

Rami is the weaker link in the center of France's defence, providing some vulnerability there, but he'll have to miss Les Bleus next match after picking up his second yellow card of the Euro finals. Eliaquim Mangala is next in line to slot alongside Laurent Koscielny.

Rami won three tackles and helped keep a clean sheet during Sunday's goalless draw with Switzerland.

Rami was a rock at the back and helped his side win Group A having allowed just one goal in three matches. He picked up a yellow card on a wild overhead attempt in the opposition's penalty area, but it was just his first of he tournament. Rami also registered an assist in group play, and he should be a central figure for the hosts' defensive unit as they begin the knockout phase versus the third-place side from Group C, D or E next Sunday.

Rami secured three interceptions, earned an assist and helped keep a clean sheet in Wednesday's win over Albania.

Rami played well in defense and helped stifle an impotent Albania attack, but his biggest contribution came as he whipped in a cross that Antoine Griezmann headed home to secure the three points in the 90th minute. Rami has played well through two games and should feature once again as France take on Switzerland Sunday with first place in the group at stake.
