This is the list of players who will not make it to the World Cup.

Juventus – France

Paul Pogba

The French midfielder is not going through the best moment of his sports career. After a disappointing spell at Manchester United, the midfielder decided to return to Juventus, the club where he had success. But since his return to Turin, Pogba’s name has been in the news more because of problems with his brother Mathias than his performance on the pitch, since since his arrival at ‘Vecchia Signora’ he suffered a knee injury that will keep him out until after the World Cup.

Chelsea – France

Ngolo Kante

Another key French figure to miss the World Cup. Ngolo Kanté won the hearts of all fans for his humility and his great performance in midfield for France in 2018. Unfortunately due to injuries, since last season, the Frenchman has not been regularly. After failing to recover from an injury sustained in August against Tottenham, N’golo underwent surgery last month and will be out for almost four months.

Seville – Mexico

Jesus’ crown

The confirmation that the Mexican won’t make it to the World Cup was one of the last we received.

A very important injury that will keep the former Sevilla player out until the end of the season.

Manchester City – England

Calvin Phillips

The Englishman had to undergo surgery in mid-September and will miss the World Cup.

That’s why he has only played 3 official matches with the ‘citycens’ and unfortunately, he is another player who will not be able to play in the World Cup.

Villarreal – Argentina
