The World Cup in Qatar started 9 days ago, and it is already possible to mark some stars, including the mighty Kylian Mbappe from France who has already scored three goals, and also some names that are pleasantly surprising such as Ener Valencia from Ecuador and Mohamed Kodos from Ghana.
But there are also some players who arrived in Qatar with their national teams with a relatively high profile, and yet have not yet played a single minute on the world's top football stage.
"Israel Today" with the most interesting names who are still waiting for their chance in the big tournament.
Ansu Fati - the Spanish
winger of Barcelona already at the age of 20 is considered by many to be one of the most talented players who have come to the club in recent years.
Despite this, he has yet to get playing minutes for Luis Enrique, and with the way things are looking so far for La Roja, it looks like they will manage without him.

Paulo Dybala - Argentina
player for Roma, was excellent this season in Serie A with 5 goals in 9 games until he got injured.
Despite the injury, he was called up to Argentina's squad, and so far has been drying up on the bench.
Precisely in the last match against Mexico, it seemed that his creativity could help Messi and his team, but Scoloni did not use it.

Fabinho - Brazil
Liverpool's excellent midfielder has been included in the Brazil squad, but Paceta, Fred and Casemiro have so far been preferred over him in the Selção's midfield.
And yet, be sure that if he is needed in the later stages - he will be there.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - England,
who is considered one of the best defenders in the world, does not get more respect than Gareth Southgate in the Three Lions team - and even his call-up to the national team was in question.
Kevin Trippier's position in the lineup seems very durable, so it is possible that Liverpool's formidable defender will not get playing minutes in the near future unless something special happens.

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen - Germany
Before the tournament, there were rumors that the Barcelona goalkeeper might get priority over Manuel Neuer, but so far that is not the case.
Right now, one of the best goalkeepers in the world is mostly warming the bench, and barring an injury to Neuer or some other unusual event, there's a good chance he'll be doing so until the end of the World Cup.
