Rio Ferdinand and Jamie Carragher are in agreement that FIFA were wrong to move the World Cup to mid-season. Qatar will be hosting the international competition which is set to commence on November 20 and conclude on December 18.
The World Cup has already had a huge impact on European football with numerous leagues and competitions forced to reschedule fixtures just to accommodate the competition. And, by doing so, several top players look set to miss out due to injuries which, ordinarily, may not have been an issue.
N'Golo Kante is set to be out until the New Year following surgery to his hamstring and Reece James is a doubt after picking up a knock against AC Milan. Meanwhile, Ben Chilwell pulled up with a hamstring injury against Dinamo Zagreb and he too is set to be a huge doubt for the World Cup.
