As at every World Cup, a list of stars who will miss this World Cup due to injury has been collected. At first, it was assumed that their number would be much less, due to the special calendar of the World Cup in Qatar, but the picture has not changed much.
First of all, we should mention France national team. At the last moment, Christopher Nkunku was excluded from the team due to an injury. It has also been known for a long time that the Roosters will be missing 2018 world champions Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante in one part of the field and Presnel Kimpembe in the defensive line. There was a chance that Raphael Varane would be on this list, but thankfully the Manchester centre-back has recovered and is in the squad.

England national team will be missing Reece James and Ben Chilwell. Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips managed to recover.
Portugal national team will be missing Pedro Neto and Diogo Jota.
Senegal national team has the biggest loss, they will be missing their main leader and main hope, Sadio Mane. In Senegal, it was expected that Mane would be able to recover and he was even included in the squad with the hope that he would at least play the third round match, but this assumption was also ruled out.
Timo Werner, Marco Reus and Florian Wirtz will be missing from Germany national team. On the contrary, Manuel Neuer and Leroy Sane managed to pick up the form.
Good news for Argentina is that Angel Di Maria and Paulo Dybala have recovered, but the team has a loss – Giovani Lo Celso, Nicolas Gonzalez and Joaquin Correa will not be able to help the Albiceleste in Qatar.
