Gareth Southgate and his international manager colleagues are facing a mounting injury list as they prepare to name their World Cup squads.
What is supposed to be football’s biggest showpiece will be missing some of the biggest stars on the planet. Paul Pogba, N’Golo Kante, Paulo Dybala and Gini Wijnaldum are among those definitely out of Qatar.
But the likes of Raphael Varane, Manuel Neuer and Son Heung-min are also facing potential World Cup heartbreak as they face a race to get fit in time. Tottenham are facing a striker crisis with Son struggling and Lucas Moura is also playing through the pain barrier while Brazil star Richarlison has been missing for the past few weeks.
