The most unusual World Cup in the history of world football kicked off on November 20 in Qatar, in the middle of a playing season when some players are at their peak, but many are injured and will not play, and many more are in doubt.
Before the peak event of world football, "Israel Hayom" makes a list of the most interesting players who will not play, as well as those who are in doubt for the tournament.

House A - Wijnaldum away
The most interesting player from home who will be absent is Georginho Wijnaldum
, a player for the Dutch national team who is considering a crisis in the market and will not play for sure.
Apart from him, Louis van Hal is not expected to have any other significant disadvantages.
In Senegal, the absence of Keita Balde (Barça's youth player) who received sanctions due to the use of banned substances is notable.
House B - Uncertainty in England
The England team has quite a bit of uncertainty ahead of the tournament.
Gareth Southgate will almost certainly miss defender Ben Chilwell, while it seems Chelsea's right back Reece James will also not be 100% fit for the first match.
Calvin Phillips of Manchester City has a shoulder injury and is a doubt.

In the Wales team, the big star Gareth Bale is currently suffering from a minor leg injury but he is expected to be fit for the tournament.
House C - A plague of injuries in Argentina
The Argentina team is one of the main favorites to win the tournament, but Lionel Scaloni's team is hit by a particularly heavy injury blow.
Cristian Romero, Landro Paredes, Angel Di Maria, and Paulo Dybala are players that Scaloni intends to use, but are not playing with their teams at the moment due to injuries and of course, none of them will be 100% fit.
The most delicate case is that of Giovanni Lo Celso
, the midfielder from Villarreal who was in recent years one of the critical people in Leo Messi's team.
He has been injured in recent weeks and his future is still unclear.
If he doesn't play, it's a hard blow for the team.

House D - concern in France
Press in France.
When Didier Deschamps learned that Karim Benzema and Chomani will be ready for the start of the tournament, now the coach is worried about the condition of other players.
Pogba and Kante are certain not to play, and the coach hopes Barcelona's Jules Conde and Lucas Hernandez will be fit in time for the event.
Raphael and Ran, and Luca Dean are also injured but reports say they will recover in time.

Anders Christensen, the defender of the Danish national team, although injured in Barcelona and not playing at the moment, should be healthy until the tournament - and he will be the mainstay of the Danes in the center of defense.

House of God
Spain and Luis Enrique do not have any players scheduled to be absent from the tournament, but it seems that Mikel Oyarsval may be the first, as he has yet to return to official training since injuring his knee.
For Germany, the hardest hit is Timur Wenner, a striker from Leipzig who officially announced that he will not play.
With Marco Reus, Leroy Sane and Thomas Muller also suffering from injuries but will be fit.

For Belgium, the World Cup is expected to be the last of its golden generation.
Romulo Lukaku, who barely played this season with Inter due to physical problems, is being treated on Belgian soil, to qualify him for the tournament.
Defender Toma Monier is also suffering from a facial fracture and is doubtful for the event.

Brazil breathes a sigh of relief.

The World Cup doesn't seem to be in danger for Tottenham's Richarlison, nor for West Ham's Lucas Paceta.
The one who is out is Diego Carlos, who started his time in the Premier with bad luck.
Liverpool's Arthur, who is out until January due to injury, is ineligible but likely wouldn't have received a call-up either way.
For the other teams, pay attention to goalkeeper Jan Sommer from Switzerland, who is also injured and is not sure he will be able to play.
In Serbia, Dusan Vlahovic, the star from Juventus, is returning to training these days and will be ready for the start.

eighth house
All eyes are on Yong Min Son, Tottenham's Korean star who injured his eye and is in the race to be eligible for the big tournament.
Another big name, who will certainly be missing from the Portugal team is Diego Jota, a Liverpool player who will not be fit in time.
The one who will also fight to the end to play in the World Cup is Ronald Araujo from Barcelona.
Uruguay is doing everything it can to recover and play.
