The details of the last players who missed this year’s football world cup due to injuries have been mentioned.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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

  1. மார்கஸ் ரியஸ் (ஜெர்மனி)

துரதிர்ஷ்டவசமாக இந்த ஆண்டு உலகக் கோப்பையில் இருந்து மார்கஸ் ரூஸ் விலகினார்.

ஜோட்டாவுக்கு அறுவை சிகிச்சை தேவையில்லை என்றாலும், அவரது காயம் குணமடைய நேரம் எடுத்தது மற்றும் உலகக் கோப்பையிலிருந்து அவரை வெளியேற்றியது. ஜோட்டாவின் இழப்பு போர்ச்சுகல் அணிக்கு பெரும் பாதிப்பை ஏற்படுத்தும்.

இந்தச் செய்தி செனகல் விளையாட்டு ரசிகர்களுக்குப் பிடிக்கவில்லை. செனகல் அணி தனது முதல் போட்டியில் நெதர்லாந்தை நவம்பர் 21ஆம் தேதி எதிர்கொள்கிறது.

  1. ஆர்தர் மெலோ (பிரேசில்)

Sri Lanka U19 Football Team Crashes Out of SAFF Championship with Embarrassing Defeats

Published

By

Sri Lanka’s U19 football team suffered a humiliating exit from the SAFF U19 Championship 2025 after being routed 5-0 by Nepal in their second group stage match, just days after a crushing 8-0 defeat against India. With 13 goals conceded in two matches and none scored, the team’s dismal campaign has raised serious concerns over the Football Federation of Sri Lanka’s (FFSL) preparation and technical planning.

The back-to-back heavy losses reflect more than just poor on-field performance — they expose a deeper structural failure in Sri Lanka’s football development system. The decision to hurriedly assemble the squad and include overseas-based Sri Lankan-origin players may have been well-intentioned, but it turned out to be a superficial fix — akin to placing icing on an unbaked cake.

Despite individual talent and moments of athleticism, the team lacked cohesion, tactical discipline, and fitness — a direct result of inadequate preparation and the absence of a proper long-term youth development strategy.

This tournament has made it abundantly clear that international match exposure alone cannot bridge the technical and developmental gaps in Sri Lankan football. Grassroots investment, school-level competitions, proper coaching structures, and continuous player development pathways are urgently needed if Sri Lanka is to be competitive at regional or international levels.

It is time the FFSL technical department, its President, and Executive Committee move beyond media optics and press conferences and instead focus on real football development. Structural reforms, professional planning, and technical consistency must replace ad-hoc preparations and cosmetic fixes.

Sri Lanka’s early exit should serve as a wake-up call: the future of Sri Lankan football depends not on imported talent but on nurturing homegrown players through sustained and systematic development.

India Crushes Sri Lanka 8-0 in SAFF U-19 Championship Opener: A Wake-Up Call for Football Authorities

Published

By

Sri Lanka’s U-19 football team suffered a devastating 8-0 defeat at the hands of India in their opening match of the SAFF U-19 Championship 2025 held at the Golden Jubilee Stadium in Arunachal Pradesh, India.

From the opening whistle, Sri Lanka appeared unprepared and disorganized, allowing India to dominate every aspect of the match. The scoreline, split evenly with four goals in each half, highlights the defensive collapse and tactical shortcomings of the Lankan side.

India’s Danny Meitei Laishram netted a hat-trick, while Prashan Jajo added a brace, showcasing the stark contrast in quality and preparation between the two teams. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, failed to register any meaningful threat on goal throughout the match.

This humiliating loss raises serious concerns about the strategic planning and readiness of the national youth setup. Despite months to prepare for the tournament, the team lacked structure, fitness, and cohesion—fundamental aspects of international football. The technical team must face questions about the lack of competitive match exposure, tactical discipline, and defensive organization.

Moreover, the physical conditioning of the squad appeared subpar, and substitutions made during the game had minimal impact. The repeated lapses in positioning, marking, and pressing made it clear that the squad was outclassed not just physically but mentally and tactically.

This result must serve as a wake-up call for the Football Federation of Sri Lanka. Talent alone will not bridge the growing gulf between Sri Lanka and regional rivals unless it’s paired with structured development, professional coaching, and consistent investment in youth football.

Sri Lanka must now regroup quickly as they face Nepal U-19 in their next group match on May 11. The path to redemption begins with accountability—and urgent change.

IPL Temporarily Suspended, PSL Relocated Amid Rising Tensions Between India and Pakistan

Published

In a major development impacting global cricket, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been temporarily suspended for a week, while the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has been moved to the UAE due to escalating tensions between India and Pakistan.

The decision by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to pause the IPL was announced on Friday, following heightened military activity along the border in the Kashmir region. The situation has raised significant safety concerns, leading to a precautionary suspension of one of the world’s most-watched sporting events.

“The well-being of players, officials, and fans is paramount. The resumption schedule will be shared after reviewing the evolving situation,” the BCCI said, emphasizing national security as the overriding concern.

This year’s IPL season, which began in March, still had 12 group-stage fixtures remaining before the playoffs. The final, initially scheduled for May 25 in Kolkata, may now face delays or venue changes.

The recent blackout during the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala, along with the closure of several airports in northern India, further complicated logistics. Punjab’s upcoming match against Mumbai Indians has already been shifted from Dharamshala to Mumbai as a precautionary measure.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed the relocation of the remainder of the PSL season to Dubai. This move follows increased concerns from foreign players and support staff about their safety.

An incident involving a drone crash near the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium just hours before a scheduled PSL match has heightened security concerns. The match was to feature several international stars from countries including Australia, England, South Africa, and the West Indies.

The ongoing crisis has put the cricketing world on alert, with both cricket boards closely monitoring the geopolitical situation. While cricket holds a significant place in both nations’ cultures, current developments have shifted priorities toward safety and stability.
