Back on bench vs. Scotland
Gorre was available from the bench in Saturday's 4-1 defeat against Scotland, marking a significant step forward in his recovery from the knee injury that disrupted the end of his club season with Maccabi Haifa.
Analysis: Gorre had been present at Curacao's World Cup training camp but questions remained over his fitness levels after the knee issue, making his inclusion in the matchday squad an encouraging development. The winger is expected to be one of Curacao's key attacking weapons on the left flank and the coaching staff will be optimistic about having him available and building toward full fitness ahead of the tournament opener against Germany on June 14.
Reports to Curacao
Gorre (knee) is in Curacao for the start of the World Cup training camp, according to ESPN.NL.
Analysis: Gorre ended his club season with a knee injury, but appears to be on the mend heading into the World Cup, as the forward is with his national team at their training camp. That said, there is yet to be a report of him actually training, so it is yet to be seen where his fitness levels are. However, with only a few weeks left until the World Cup and his addition to the squad list, it appears likely he will be recovered for their opener on June 14 against Germany.
Dealing with knee injury
Gorre missed Maccabi Haifa's last three matches with a knee injury, raising concerns over his availability for Curacao's opener at the World Cup this summer, according to The Athletic.
Analysis: Gorre is expected to be one of Curacao's key attacking weapons on the left wing and his absence from club action is a worry heading into the tournament, with his last national team appearance coming in March 2026. The winger has had an impressive club season with five goals and 11 assists across 29 appearances for Maccabi Haifa, while also contributing two goals in his last five international appearances for Curacao. The national team will be hoping he can recover in time to be fully fit for the competition, as losing him for any part of the tournament would be a significant blow for a side that will need every key player available.
