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.
The much-anticipated Player Draft for the sixth edition of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2026 is scheduled to take place on June 1 in Colombo, marking a significant milestone ahead of Sri Lanka’s premier domestic T20 tournament.
A total of 421 cricketers including 179 Sri Lankan players and 242 overseas players will be available for selection during the draft process. The local player pool will consist of national representatives, domestic performers, and emerging talents, offering franchises a wide range of options as they finalize their squads for the upcoming season.
The draft will be conducted across several player categories, namely Platinum, Gold, Classic, Emerging, and Associate Stars.
Among the Sri Lankan contingent, 17 players have been listed in the Platinum category, while 34 players fall under Gold, 80 under Classic, and 48 under Emerging.
The overseas player lineup includes 31 Platinum players, 64 Gold players, 99 Classic players, and 48 players in the Associate Stars category.
The official draft proceedings will commence at 1.30 p.m. and are expected to draw the participation of all franchise owners and team management representatives.
Hon. Sunil Kumara Gamage, Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, will attend the event as the Chief Guest.
Several key cricket administrators and officials are also expected to be present, including Mr. Eran Wickramaratne, Chairman of the Cricket Transformation Committee (CTC), members of the Transformation Committee, Mr. Ashley De Silva, Chief Executive Officer of Sri Lanka Cricket, and Mr. Samantha Dodanwela, Tournament Director of the Lanka Premier League.
The LPL has continued to grow in stature since its inception, providing a competitive platform for local talent while attracting international stars to Sri Lanka’s premier T20 competition.
Sri Lanka’s rising middle-distance runner Tarushi Abisheka delivered an outstanding performance to claim the gold medal in the girls’ 1500 metres event at the Asian Under-20 Athletics Championships in Hong Kong on Thursday.
Abisheka crossed the finish line in 4 minutes and 31.41 seconds, securing first place ahead of Iran’s Maryam Baluoutaki, who finished second, while South Korea’s Song Dawson claimed the bronze medal.
The young Sri Lankan athlete is also competing in the 800m event at the continental championship, continuing to showcase her talent on the international stage.
The Asian Under-20 Athletics Championships has attracted competitors from 40 countries, with athletes taking part in 46 events during the tournament.
Sri Lanka has fielded a 22-member team for the competition, consisting of 15 male athletes and seven female athletes.
Sri Lanka’s impressive winning streak at the FIBA U-18 Asia Cup SABA Qualifiers came to an end yesterday as they suffered a hard-fought 72-77 defeat against a strong Indian side at the Sugathadasa Stadium.
Coming into the match with two consecutive victories, the hosts displayed tremendous spirit and determination throughout the contest. Sri Lanka made an energetic start and matched the taller and more experienced Indian outfit in every department during the opening stages of the game.
The home team enjoyed an excellent first half and went into the breather with a narrow 43-40 lead after producing some attractive attacking basketball. Sri Lanka’s quick passing, aggressive drives to the basket and accurate shooting kept the Indian defence under constant pressure. The local cagers also showed great discipline in defence, forcing several turnovers and capitalising on fast-break opportunities.
However, India bounced back strongly after halftime with improved defensive work and better control in the final two quarters. Their experience and physical advantage gradually helped them regain momentum as they edged ahead during the decisive stages of the encounter.
Despite trailing in the closing minutes, Sri Lanka continued to fight bravely and reduced the margin with some spirited play. The hosts received strong support from the spectators who gathered at the stadium to cheer the young team.
India eventually held their nerve to secure a five-point victory and remain one of the strongest contenders in the tournament. Although Sri Lanka ended on the losing side, the performance of the young players earned praise for their fighting spirit and determination against a formidable opponent.
