Players who missed this year’s football world cup due to injuries
The details of the last players who missed this year’s football world cup due to injuries have been mentioned.
- Marcus Reus (Germany)
Marcus Roos, unfortunately, had to withdraw from this year’s World Cup.
The 33-year-old also missed the 2014 World Cup due to injury and his team went on to win the trophy. Reus was coming back from injury and was set to be part of the 2022 World Cup squad when he suffered an acute ankle injury that forced him out of the tournament.
- Diogo Jota (Portugal)
Portugal’s main attacking player Diogo Jota was expected to play in their World Cup opener, but Jota picked up an injury during a league match for Liverpool in October.
Although Jota did not need surgery, his injury took time to heal and forced him out of the World Cup. The loss of Jota could have a huge impact on the Portugal team.
- Paul Pogba (France)
Paul Pogba can be known as one of the most important players of the French team and he will also miss the World Cup this year due to an injury.
Pogba underwent surgery on a knee injury in September and is uncertain of his recovery ahead of France’s title defence against Australia on November 22.
- Sadio Mane (Senegal)
Senegalese forward Sadio Mane was included in this year’s World Cup squad but was forced to withdraw two days before the opening day of the tournament on Sunday. Mane suffered a foot injury while playing for his club Bayern Munich earlier this month.
The news did not go down well with Senegalese sports fans. Senegal will play their first match against the Netherlands on November 21.
- Arthur Melo (Brazil)
Melo, who was a strong midfielder in Brazil, suffered a left thigh injury during training with the Liverpool team.
The injury occurred in October and Melo was left out of the World Cup squad.
The 22-year-old said in an Instagram post: “It comes after a lot of effort and a lot of hard work, I’m ready to establish myself in my new team and I’m playing at the World Cup without giving up fighting for my dream.”
The 22-year-old Melo has a great opportunity to play in the upcoming World Cup.

காயம் காரணமாக இந்த ஆண்டு கால்பந்து உலகக் கோப்பையை தவறவிட்ட வீரர்கள்
உபாதை காரணமாக இவ்வருட உதைபந்தாட்ட உலகக் கிண்ணத் தொடரை தவறவிட்ட கடைசி வீரர்களின் விபரம் குறிப்பிடப்பட்டுள்ளது.
- மார்கஸ் ரியஸ் (ஜெர்மனி)
துரதிர்ஷ்டவசமாக இந்த ஆண்டு உலகக் கோப்பையில் இருந்து மார்கஸ் ரூஸ் விலகினார்.
33 வயதான அவர் காயம் காரணமாக 2014 உலகக் கோப்பையையும் தவறவிட்டார், மேலும் அவரது அணி கோப்பையை வென்றது. காயத்தில் இருந்து மீண்டு வந்த ரியஸ், 2022 உலகக் கோப்பை அணியில் இடம்பிடித்திருந்தார்.

போர்ச்சுகலின் முக்கிய தாக்குதல் வீரர் டியோகோ ஜோட்டா அவர்களின் உலகக் கோப்பை தொடக்க ஆட்டத்தில் விளையாடுவார் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கப்பட்டது, ஆனால் அக்டோபரில் லிவர்பூலுக்கான லீக் போட்டியின் போது ஜோட்டாவுக்கு காயம் ஏற்பட்டது.
ஜோட்டாவுக்கு அறுவை சிகிச்சை தேவையில்லை என்றாலும், அவரது காயம் குணமடைய நேரம் எடுத்தது மற்றும் உலகக் கோப்பையிலிருந்து அவரை வெளியேற்றியது. ஜோட்டாவின் இழப்பு போர்ச்சுகல் அணிக்கு பெரும் பாதிப்பை ஏற்படுத்தும்.
- பால் போக்பா (பிரான்ஸ்)
பால் போக்பா பிரெஞ்சு அணியின் மிக முக்கியமான வீரர்களில் ஒருவராக அறியப்படுகிறார், மேலும் அவர் காயம் காரணமாக இந்த ஆண்டு உலகக் கோப்பையையும் இழக்கிறார்.
செப்டம்பரில் போக்பா முழங்காலில் ஏற்பட்ட காயத்தில் அறுவை சிகிச்சைக்கு உட்படுத்தப்பட்டார் மற்றும் நவம்பர் 22 அன்று ஆஸ்திரேலியாவுக்கு எதிரான பிரான்சின் பட்டத்தை பாதுகாப்பதற்கு முன்னதாக அவர் குணமடைவார் என்பது நிச்சயமற்றது.
- சாடியோ மானே (செனகல்)
செனகல் முன்கள வீரர் சாடியோ மானே இந்த ஆண்டு உலகக் கோப்பை அணியில் சேர்க்கப்பட்டார், ஆனால் ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமை போட்டியின் தொடக்க நாளுக்கு இரண்டு நாட்களுக்கு முன்பு விலக வேண்டிய கட்டாயம் ஏற்பட்டது. இந்த மாத தொடக்கத்தில் மானே தனது கிளப்பான பேயர்ன் முனிச்சிற்காக விளையாடும் போது காலில் காயம் ஏற்பட்டது.
இந்தச் செய்தி செனகல் விளையாட்டு ரசிகர்களுக்குப் பிடிக்கவில்லை. செனகல் அணி தனது முதல் போட்டியில் நெதர்லாந்தை நவம்பர் 21ஆம் தேதி எதிர்கொள்கிறது.
- ஆர்தர் மெலோ (பிரேசில்)
பிரேசிலில் வலுவான மிட்ஃபீல்டராக இருந்த மெலோ, லிவர்பூல் அணியுடன் பயிற்சியின் போது இடது தொடையில் காயம் அடைந்தார்.
அக்டோபரில் காயம் ஏற்பட்டது மற்றும் மெலோ உலகக் கோப்பை அணியில் இருந்து வெளியேறினார்.

22 வயதான மெலோவுக்கு எதிர்வரும் உலகக் கோப்பையில் விளையாட சிறந்த வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்துள்ளது.
Sri Lanka’s rising athletics star Rumesh Tharanga Pathiragae reinforced his status as one of the world’s premier javelin throwers by capturing gold at the prestigious Ostrava Golden Spike meeting in the Czech Republic on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old delivered another commanding performance at the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event, producing a winning throw of 86.57 metres to finish comfortably ahead of a high-quality international field.
Rumesh signaled his intentions from the outset with an opening effort of 85.87m before improving to 86.30m in the second round. He then produced his best throw of the day, 86.57m, in the third round, a mark that remained unbeaten for the rest of the competition.
Grenada’s double world champion Anderson Peters had to settle for second place with 84.27m, while South Africa’s Douw Smit completed the podium with a throw of 83.90m.
The latest triumph comes just weeks after Rumesh announced himself on the global stage with a sensational 92.62m effort in Rome, a throw that elevated him to eighth place on the all-time world rankings and established him as a genuine contender for major international honours.
Unlike in Rome, where he arrived as an emerging talent, Rumesh entered the Ostrava meet carrying the weight of expectation. Widely regarded as the athlete to beat in men’s javelin this season, the Sri Lankan was among the headline attractions of the competition and featured prominently in pre-event promotions.
Minister of Sports Sunil Kumara Gamage has announced that disciplinary action will be taken against the Sri Lanka Rugby Federation following the national team’s failure to obtain visas for its scheduled Asian Rugby Championship match against South Korea, resulting in the cancellation of the fixture last week.
Addressing reporters, the Minister emphasized that the responsibility for securing travel documents and making logistical arrangements rests entirely with the relevant sports federation and not with the Ministry of Sports.
Gamage stated that federations are expected to make visa applications and travel arrangements well in advance and cannot rely on last-minute interventions. He described the incident as a clear case of negligence on the part of the Rugby Federation.
“The Sports Ministry does not intervene in visa or ticket processes. If funding is provided, we cover expenses, but team selection and visa arrangements are solely the federation’s responsibility. The Federation cannot request a visa on Monday if the team is to travel on Wednesday. This is the Federation’s negligence. This is not a government issue; it is an issue of the Federation or Association. We will take disciplinary action, as we have done before,” the Minister said.
He further stressed that such administrative failures cannot be allowed to continue, noting that sports federations often attempt to shift responsibility to the Ministry when shortcomings arise.
The Minister reiterated that the Rugby Federation must be held accountable for the cancellation of the international fixture, adding that the matter has also attracted attention in Parliament.
The cancellation of the Asian Rugby Championship match has raised concerns over the management and administrative efficiency of the sport’s governing body, with calls for greater accountability to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Sri Lanka A player Vishen Halambage has reportedly become the latest victim of online harassment after a match-related confrontation with India A batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi sparked widespread discussion on social media.
The incident occurred during Sri Lanka A’s dramatic Super Over triumph over India A in the Tri-Nation Series on Monday. Footage showing a tense exchange between the two young cricketers quickly spread across social media platforms, drawing significant attention from cricket fans.
Following the match, Halambage’s Instagram account was flooded with critical and abusive messages, with many comments reportedly originating from social media users reacting to the on-field altercation. Unverified reports also suggested that individuals connected to the player were subjected to online harassment.
By Tuesday, Halambage’s Instagram profile appeared to be inaccessible. While some reports indicated that the account may have been blocked or restricted after receiving numerous complaints, the exact reason remains unclear. Neither the player nor Instagram has publicly commented on the matter.
The episode has once again brought attention to the growing issue of online abuse in sport, where athletes particularly younger players can face intense backlash following high-profile incidents. Sports analysts and observers have repeatedly called for greater efforts to curb harassment on digital platforms and promote responsible fan engagement.
The match itself ended in a memorable victory for Sri Lanka A, but the events that followed have shifted attention toward the challenges athletes face beyond the boundary ropes.
