We already know most of the players who are to participate in the championship. Unfortunately, many stars will miss it.
Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard
The national team of Norway became third in its group, giving in to the Netherlands and Turkey. Haaland was injured during most of the qualifications. Without him, the team lost scores in matches with direct opponents. The Norwegians tied with the Turks and lost to the Dutchmen.
Erling, however, managed to score five goals during the qualifications. Odegaard, on the other hand, could not make any goals or notable passes. Now, these talented players will have to wait until 2026 before they get the next chance to prove themselves.
Mohamed Salah
Egypt lost to Senegal and did not qualify for the World Cup. This did not come as a surprise to analysts: international betting companies that have good reviews at https://bookmaker-ratings.in/ offer bets on the passage of Senegal with 1.54 odds (approximately 65% ​​probability). And although we will not see Salah in Qatar, we can still watch the game between Manet, Coulibaly, and Edouard Mendy.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The magnificent Swede returned to the national team and really wanted to get to the 2022 World Cup. However, the Polish team led by Lewandowski ruined these plans. Zlatan, as well as Victor Lindelof, Alexander Isak, Dejan Kulusevski, Emil Forsberg, and Victor Klasson, will have to watch the World Cup on TV.
Jan Oblak
One of the best goalkeepers in the world has never taken part in the World Cup as part of his national team. In 2010, Handanovic took the place at the gate, then Slovenia could not qualify. This time, they performed in the group stage worse than Croatia, Russia, or Slovakia.
Fortunately, Jan is 29 years old, so he still has a chance to prove himself at the World Championships.
David Alaba
Alaba played at the European Championships but has not played at the World Cup yet. Austria finished fourth in the qualifying group stage, but qualified for the play-offs through the Nations League. Unfortunately, at this stage, the team was stopped by the Wales national team: Gareth Bale's double did not allow Alaba, Zabitzer, and Arnautovic to play in the World Cup.
Italy National Team
The European champions are missing the second Cup in a row. Donnarumma, Bonucci, Chiellini, Jorginho, Barella, Verratti, Chiesa, Immobile, Insigne will not play in Qatar.
Patrick Schick
The top scorer of the European Championship will not play in the World Cup either. Neither will Soucek, Coufal, and Kral, the landing party from West Ham.
Edin Dzeko
The captain of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team performs better at the club level than on the national team. He scored only one goal in the entire qualification.
There have been serious losses on other continents as well.
Victor Osimhen
The Nigerians ceded to Ghana. Even the Napoli scorer did not help. Leicester's Wilfred Ndidi, the second star of the national team, missed the decisive games due to injury.
Solomon Rondon
Venezuela finished last in the South American qualifier. Rondon was powerless in this situation.
Arturo Vidal
The Chileans did not get to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, they will also miss the tournament in Qatar. Arturo Vidal, Gary Medel, and Alexis Sanchez are now unlikely to ever play in the World Cup.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Aubameyang played well for the national team in qualifying, but then, due to various problems, he missed the entire African Cup. Now he is doing everything to keep the level at Barcelona.
Riyad Mahrez
The Algerian midfielder of Manchester City, along with his compatriots, missed the opportunity to play in the World Cup after the play-offs with Cameroon.
