Oblak, Salah, and Haaland will not compete at the World Cup. EFE
Not all professional footballers are fortunate enough to be citizens of a nation that is well-known in the sport. Players like George Weah, a cap-holder for Liberia who struggled during the biggest football event in the world, are an example of this. There are numerous additional instances where athletes are excluded from these competitions because of injury, fines,
War conflicts, such as the one between Hungary and Kubala, or other factors. It is unfortunate for football as a sport to miss out on the chance to see historic World Cup matches due to weight-related issues.
We present to you a list of the top players from the current leagues who are not participating in the World Cup for various reasons.
Haaland, Erling (Norway)
The Norwegian striker had the option of playing for England at one point, but his Nordic heritage caused him to pass up a chance that he could now regret.
Muslim Salah (Egypt)
The Senegal team of the Egyptian's former teammate Mane eliminated him from competing in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Ibrahimovic, Zlatan (Sweden)
After losing to Lewandowski's unstoppable Poland, the Swedish player gets disqualified from what would have been his final World Cup.
Aubameyang Pierre-Emerick (Gabon)
The Gabonese attacker has yet to be able to earn a spot in this type of
competition, and it appears that he will not.
Michael Verratti (Italy)
The first Italian player on the list is successful at PSG, but his side hasn't been able to qualify for the World Cup's 32-team field.
Alaba, David (Austria)
Another country that hasn't qualified for the tournament since 1998 is Austria, which the Madrid center-back will undoubtedly find disappointing.
Oblak, Jan (Slovenia)
The goalie for Atletico Madrid hasn't witnessed his country make the World Cup in more than 20 years.
Jose Diaz (Colombia)
The Liverpool star has the unfortunate timing of playing against a Colombia team in dire straits.
Mahrez, Riyad (Algeria)
After losing to Cameroon in the qualifications, the Man City winger will not participate in the competition.
François Chiesa (Italy)
Another player from Italy has been disqualified from the World Cup. The Juve striker already has a serious injury, and now he must deal with his nation's absence from the World Cup.
Robertson, Andy (Scotland)
The skipper of Scotland was unable to guide his squad to the biggest international competition.
Donnarumma (Italy) (Italy)
Following Italy's defeat, one of the top goalkeepers in the world will also be absent from the World Cup
