Germany striker Timo Werner became this Thursday the last, for now, star to miss the World Cup due to injury of Qatar 2022. An ankle injury sustained on Wednesday in the Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk has left the 26-year-old Leipzig striker without any dreams of participating in the World Cup.

This is the situation of stars who are known to be absent or doubtful for the World Cup.
