When you know the injury status of the players, you will make a wiser bet.

Feel free to drop any confirmed or speculated injury of players and we will discuss about them.

Last week the people of Senegal were sad and Africans were sad as their best player who is the runner up of 2022 Ballon d'Or was injured. Does Mane still has the chance to represent?

https://i.ibb.co/wKHdQTH/2987103-61297788-2560-1440.webp

Maddison who was named in the England team was seen substituted in the first half of the Westham vs Liecester because of injury.

he was called up to the senegal team and from what i read he is on the list of senegal players to play in the world cup, but according to the senegal coach he does not need to be operated and can recover in two to three weeks, but in this case if senegal is eliminated early then mane will not play in the world cup and let's be honest: does anyone believe that senegal can reach the final of the world cup? I don't believe it, so being realistic, the man won't be able to improve in time to play in the world cup

Despite with injury got by Mane when Bayern Munich won from Werder Bremen last weeks he still in the named list for Senegal national team squad at World Cup 2022. Left one week later for Mane recovery from his injury for the first match against with Netherland, although he has possibility keep injury I think left two match later against host national team Qatar and Ecuador opportunity for Mane get recovery.

---

Talking about football injured most sadness with Germany football player Marco Reus, he was absent again after injury and become third time missing at World Cup, last time on 2014 he missed World Cup and continue when edition on 2018. Seems he not lucky for participating on World Cup.

Unpredictable nobody knows what will happen and how it will end
But European countries and another South American country are likely to wins the World Cup
I do not underate African's but not this one. African's lacks some big quality and techniques

Mane as a fair chance of representing his country, if not in their first game, maybe their second or third. He is a great influence to the team and seeing him play will be good for the overall morale of the Senegal team.

England have a lot of options, so many options that they could not take all their options to the world cup. If Madison doesn't turn up fit, he may have little chance of featuring in the world cup.

Sadio Mane has been one of my favorites from an overall performance and affluence in the Liverpool team up  to his team spot for his country, Senegal. It's sad learning about his injury, he will recover fast, because he got to feature for the Senegalese team. I wonder if  that of Madison really affects the world cup team, England. They are looking for ways to assemble the perfect team because so many players have impressed in their various teams so far and are hoping to have a world cup shot with any injured players position right now.
I wish them speedy recovery and great  fitness. Otherwise, the world cup won't be cohesively interesting as it should be.

On God Sadio Mane will be live to represent Senegal at the world Cup
Asides Mane a player like Paulo Dybala has also been injured but was included in the squad
As for Madison his first call up in the world cup and this is how it turns for him, bad too bad

This topic should be kept alive for all the big name injuries after the world cup as well. I know there are many websites that track the injuries and such, but having one here would be great too because before we wager, sometimes we forget to check the injury list, but we are always here chatting with people meaning that we could potentially see this and remember to check the injury list.

About Mane, I think he will be ready to play "sometime" during the world cup, that’s the situation he has, maybe miss the group stages and be ready for 16, not sure really what’s going to happen, but I think it would be wise to assume he is completely out. And that’s okay, they weren't winning the world cup with him neither, it won't change too much.

I like this thread already as it will come in handy for my fantasy team picks  :P

Regarding Manes injury concerns it seems both parties i.e Bayern Munich and Senegal are both not giving us full details of the injury he picked leaving the situation to speculation which I see to be a bad approach, maybe it was his request because with this lad you just never know.

---

Btw are there any possibilities of Ben Chilwell making the England team picking a hamstring injury?

If we are talking about the current injuries in football then we shouldn't overlook Juventus' condition at the moment as well.

Because they are dealing with many injuries now. There have been seven injuries going on so far. Actually Vlahovic looks like he is back in training newly. But he wasn't brought to the Lazio match today of course as he has just recovered. However it doesn't seem like this has affected them in a bad way at all. Because they have been doing amazing in the Serie A for many weeks. Right now they are in the lead by 1-0 against Lazio in Turin as well.  ;D

You are welcome...we roll!


They are honestly not giving us the full details. But there was a statement from Bayern Munich that I read from a blog. Bayern Munich was cautioning Senegal about the dangers of including injured many in their WC squad. They were suggesting that Mane should be rested in order to be fit to return to the club by January.
After reading that article, I felt that Bayern Munich was being selfish and self-centered. They don't care about the feelings of the whole country and that of their star play Mane.

I think football injury can be discussed on this thread ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1877785.0) because it will affect the odds and predictions. I don't think there's a gambler who will bet randomly without checking the main line up, where the match will be held, etc etc. Also even though the players aren't injured, there's a chance if the managers wouldn't let him to play due to few reason or his strategy. That's why I prefer to check the main line up before the match happen than looking for injured players.

Sadio Mane will be with his side at the world Cup
But I don't see him playing the first two games until the third match
You should be worried about Madison and not Chiwell even James' they are more consistent than Chiwell

from one of the sports news online that I saw, these are the names of injured players who potentially cannot play in the world cup later, luckily no more league matches until next year, hopefully, no more players get injured or fall ill during their national team training sessions.

One of the reason why someone will play sports betting is because they can apply their knowledge to win the game so it is unlikely that they will bet randomly but if they do, then there is a better way of doing it and that is by playing in casino games. Anything can happen in a game but it will be better if no players were injured at all because it can affect their careers badly.

Maybe there are reasons if a player isn't allowed to play even if he isn't injured but I don't think it is one of the manager's strategy. Does he think that the opposing team is weak enough and there is no need for a more stronger player to play? I think we shouldn't underestimate our foe's because many have fail because of it.

I agree with your suggestion. This board got a dedicated topic for tracking transfers and why not about the availability of players?

Thats a real good start of conveying the news as i can see many football Threads over there. I am noy personally a big fan of this sports due to non domestic nature still i use to watch some of the famous players performance clips. But lets see how this aport grows in our region. Actually According to news i think this sports is more risky as of the Cricket.

I think no player that would make the worlds difference and them missing would cause the team to be worse is there in the list. France of course will miss Kante and Pogba, those are two great players and they would have been awesome for them but at the end of the day we are talking about a situation where these players are not the make or break for their teams.

The big teams are France, England and Brazil, and they are missing players for sure, but none of the players that miss makes them not the favourites, they are still are which means these injuries meant nothing to do. These players are only "would be good to have" level and not "must have them" levels at all.

France and Brazil have such strong selections that one player more or less will not make the difference. Of course you don't want to miss Neymar, but he seems fit to me. Individually, I might rate France higher than Brazil. As a coach you may still call up players for the selection until the first match is played. Then you still have some leeway. I also read that more substitutions are allowed, or is that only for national competitions? Depay is still injured and Mane would be able to place, but maybe as a substitute.

ya.ya.yo!

I think the OP has done the right thing by creating a thread like this, in this world cup soccer betting it's very important because I wouldn't choose to bet on a team that has a lot of injured core players. From the news circulating, Germany will not be supported by some of their players who are injured and the possibility of recovering in the near future is very small, so I will not bet on Germany. I will be eyeing Brazil and England national teams, they are at full strength to play in the world cup.

I feel the absence of Pogba and Kante will in one way or the other affect the France team. We all saw how important these two players were in the last WC, but it is unfortunate that both of them will not play this world cup.
Pogba would have played assuming he heard to the advice that was given him that month he left Manchester United. He was aware as far back as then that he will need surgery, but he delayed it which later became a wrong timing for him.
For Kante, let us be hopeful that he will resume with Graham Potter next year.

France has a great team, although the absence of Pogba might have created a vacuum, it doesn't disrupt the fact that other great players like Mbappe, and the likes would carry the weight in his absence. Kante is also one great player I have missed much this season, but we know that football injuries is a surety, if one hopes to come back better and stronger.

Sports industry is more of physical contact but it is unfortunate to see players who were victims of intentional fouling plays. All of them are training really hard just to enter the league and ofcourse to be in a tournament but it is just that 'systems' exist in any industry. There are even cases wherein a player would be tasked to hurt the 'star player' of the other team just to get the win; and this exists on every sports related tournaments not only in soccer. And to those cases which are caused by accidents alone, we cannot really do a thing about it because more likely, players are aware of the tendencies for such things to happen; they just don't know when will it occur.

But going back with this league, I hope France would make it, they are one of the great teams out there even if former players will no longer play for this season.

Why you describe Africa result for me because Africans does not survive through a sport activities that some European countries that survived through sport activities which is one of the generated revenue so don't blame Africans what Africans believe on is a mystic so that is the area Africans are specialised, so in football they are forcing their self to improve or to get cooperated with the football activities

Players like Pogba and Kante not present in the French team is a big blow to the county because the impact of these two strong ballers are felt anytime they are in the team, Pogba with his midfield work and Kante the oracle that never gets tired of playing? Fuck I think France can not go far in the world cup because they have notable players but they got no replacement for the two giants cause they aren't like Mbappe, Benzema and the rest for the goals but they need them to give killers passes and make ball runs that produces goals which we have seen them to in their respective clubs. I pray we see them out of injury before the world cup.

Does this game of deliberately sending a player to hurt a star player still exist? I thought it was an old trend. It is a game of hatred and shouldn't be tolerated. Anyways I don't see that type of trend any more or if they do it such a way that people will not understand.
In those days it used to be obvious. The coach will introduce one irregular player to do the deal and get a red card.

I wasn't so convinced of Pogba the last two years anyway, but what he does is he provides a lot to the balance within the team. When you check out their team now it has quite a strong tendency to play too offensively. Players iike Pogba and Kante are a very strong second defense line within the French game and this is what they might be missing this tournament. Still though their offensive power might easily be able to compensate for that. For me they are still among the top favorites.

Depends on the type of manager, type of team, and type of player to do that. We all famously know that Ramos had that type of mindset and Mourinho was fine with it, maybe he even encouraged it but I cannot say, but Ramos definitely had that mindset. He would cherish a red card if it meant that he would injure the player on the other side.

He did that to Messi a million times, and he famously did it to Salah on the UCL finals as well. Is there still some players who do it? Well maybe at that level, but if you go lower then you will find a lot of aggressive players, not everyone is mad like gattuso was, but they still do it so it still exists in the football world somewhere.

Case by case, here is the situation for players who are injured and who are potentially summoned by PORTUGAL.

Pepe: The player suffered a left knee sprain with damage to the internal collateral ligament, in early October. The injury should heal within four to six weeks. At this point, he's done just over a week and a half after the injury. In this way, the end of Pepe's recovery should hit close to the date of the squad announcement.

Nuno Mendes: injured on October 5th, the player had a muscle problem and was out of a few games. In the clinical bulletin, Nuno Mendes continues to treat pain in his left hamstrings. The return date is not clear, as the defender has already missed three games since then

Danilo: Last Sunday, the center/midfielder injured himself. The player is still inde observation.

Diogo Jota:The winger was taken off on a stretcher in the final moments of the game on Sunday. Diogo will be examined in the next few hours to find out the extent and severity of the injury.

Renato Sanches: Of this handful full of doubts, the case of the midfielder must be, for now, the least alarming. The midfielder recovered from an adductor injury in September, returned to action on 1 October against Nice, but only played 15 minutes. Since then he has not played, but he was on the bench against Marseille this Sunday. He's recovered, but he didn't come in and, therefore, the big question is to see how he is doing when he returns to compete.

Hope you guys consider this as useful information

NEW INJURY UPDATE

https://i.imgur.com/f0V5OTa.jpg
Brazilian defender Marquihnos did not train with the Brazilian team due to an injury that has not yet been disclosed, but because he also plays in PSG's last game before the world cup, and PSG said he had a "muscular discomfort".
 source  (https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/football/story/world-cup-2022-marquinhos-misses-brazil-training-with-an-undisclosed-injury-2297765-2022-11-16)

We hope it is nothing too serious.

Read that Marquinhos situation is not serious, it was the stress of the muscle that he will not miss the World Cup show but the blog I read from is not a well trusted blog.

Christopher Nkunku was seen crying yesterday after he sustained injury from France training session and was told he will not travel to Qatar. It is sad for the young guy who was ready to unleash in the World Cup.

Muscular Discomfort could be basically just a hamstring type of deal and I am not considering it as bad as it could be, like not something that could miss the world cup. That doesn't mean that we would be seeing it going crazy, there is a big chance that it could be just because he wants to rest until world cup and not play during last games of PSG and focus instead just on getting better and resting and all that so he would be ready.

Of course, it could also be otherwise and he could be injured, which would make Brazil a lot worse because he is a marvellous defender and he does matter to the team, Brazil is a lot better with him on the field than without him.

I saw the brutal act against Christopher Nkunku. I don't want to think well about it. You can't do such a hard move in training. What's the point of injuring your teammate when the World Cup is only a few days away? It's not an acceptable situation.

Bad luck for Nkunku in the training session and collided with Camavinga who had to hit his knee and could not go with the other squad to Qatar even though it was the dream of many players to appear in the World Cup, but unfortunately Nkunku had to give up being absent due to a severe injury to his.
It was reported in the article that Nkunku was replaced by Randal Kolo Muani, a striker from Eintracht Frankfurt. He is also a young striker who has quite a lot of potential in his appearance.
Here's the resource I looked at: https://www.90min.com/posts/france-confirm-replacement-for-injured-christopher-nkunku

Christopher Nkuku's bad luck has resulted in good news for Randal Kolo Muani, who has given up hope of representing his country in the upcoming World Cup tournament in Qatar.
The injury in training has forced France manager Didier Deschamps to find a replacement for Nkuku immediately in order to complete the squad, which is why they decided to give an immediate call for Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt, which is a fantastic opportunity for the striker to prove himself and gain a spot in the national team.

Reaching the Final seems impossible, but with his presence if possible playing at least opens a chance for them to pass the group stage or repeat the achievement at the 2002 World Cup by reaching the quarter-finals only lose after that.

This is an old rumor and I've heard of it, but it can't be proven true because surely the instructions are carried out in secret, maybe even only the player and the commanding officer know about it.

I feel very pity for him because he was one of the talents from France that everyone was looking forward to watch in the world cup. It will be very painful for him because he made it to the world cup but didn't make it to the first game. The other players will become more careful during the training sessions.

There's a little scare in the Portugal camp because Ronaldo did not train with him due to stomach upset (gastritis). He has been ruled out of their friendly game they have against Nigeria due to it, and they are hoping it doesn't affect his fitness for the world cup.
 Ronaldo News  (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ripplesnigeria.com/ronaldo-ruled-out-of-super-eagles-friendly-over-stomach-trouble/%3famp)

Cristiano Ronaldo will be fine honestly there is nothing wrong with him as it has nothing to do with injuries but just a little bit of discomfort he had in his stomach before the training. It would be a big blow if Cristiano Ronaldo misses the FIFA World Cup, I'll be mad.

Feeling sorry for Nkuku honestly, it was same with Antonio Martial some four years back, as he missed the chance to journey with France and also to win the World Cup with France.
Have you seen the case of Marco Reus of Germany, when you talk bout disappointment he should be the most unluckiest player ever when it comes to National Team representation like this, he's missed over four good chance to rep Germany due to injuries.

We already know that Sadio Mane has suffered an injury while playing with Bayern Munich but the Senegal national team is still Sadio Mane included in his squad because he is indeed an important part of Senegal but I saw a recent tweet from Fabrizio Romana that Mane will not be part of World Cup squad again for Senegal, well, because of an injury that hasn't healed yet, it requires Mane to rest.
It's a tough blow for Senegal as key players are sidelined:
https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1593318352927203331

It would not impact his fitness for the world cup, it’s just a stomach problem, basically like how when you eat bad food and it makes you sick, and then you can't leave the toilet for a long time, same thing here.

Ronaldo will be a lot better in a few days, just eat solid food, drink a lot of water and you will be good as rain, and maybe take a rest as much as you can, most of these players have excess energy, so sleeping 10-12 hours a day, like 8 hours regular sleep and maybe 2-3 hours of nap during the day, is not something they can easily do because their body is not ready for it, but if he does that as well, by the time world cup starts, he would be 100% ready and not a single shred of this disease will stay.

It is indeed a sad situation for Mane, for Senegalese and for Africans and also for all football lovers in the world. Since I saw in the internet that Mane underwent surgery and will not participate in the world Cup, I am honestly not happy.
There are no many big names in Africa to watch and the ones that could appear are no more. No Mane, No Salah, No Mahrez and no big Nigerian boys appearing anywhere in Qatar.
This world Cup is just not favourable for Africans.

Ronaldo will give his best in this tournament because I have read - this will be his last tournament. So he wants to leave the stadium with lots of good memories.
The things we watch in movies they experience them personally - what a life they live and the mark they leave on the people's mind.

Finally I got to confirm the news on Twitter also he missing the World Cup is very bad and this i believe should have been his last time showing up for the country Senegal. He will continue with his rehabilitation at Bayern Munich. Good results and outcomes for team Senegal they will miss mane's absence on the pitch. I want to see him back better to win his first Bundesliga at the end of next season

Sad to hear the news as Senegal's greatest striker Sadio Mane has been ruled out of the World Cup in Qatar.  Especially not to fill his place.  Seemingly half of Senegal's strength was reduced.  We had hoped that the leg injury would be healed before the World Cup game but after the surgery, the medical team announced that his game is uncertain.  Below are some parts of the news.

https://i.imgur.com/zTguwZj.jpg

France are the defending champions of this competition, and they are also amongst other teams that many say have a good chance of still winning this world cup. If they are without some key players that were of assistance in their last world cup outing, it is not impossible to get replacements in those areas since they are also a team with plenty of talents and options. They have many players who can still play in that position; Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Youssouf Fofana, Adrien Rabiot, and Jordan Veretout are some top name midfielders can be good replacement. It is also a good opportunity for them to show their capabilities.

Of course that is very unfortunate, but the club does not want to take the risk for Mane's health, even though there are many rumors saying that the country of Sadio Mane, Senegal, wants to use the services of a shaman, for Mane's recovery, so that he can appear to defend his country Senegal, at the World Cup, of course. that is impossible considering that Sadio Mana is a person who obeys his religion, of course he would not want to do these things for his own healing.

The worst news I could hear about the world cup regarding Senegal's international team was to hear about Sadio Mane's injury this can definitely great damage to Senegal'sinternational team because Sadio is the greatest star in this team, this player was also famous because of his fair plays during the last years, so this news made every football fan sad, however, his leg Injury is still now clear and according to the news I got the medical teams is uncertain about his situation.

a part from the players injury there is another injury made to fan for banning alcohol in the stadium

Sadiomane is likely to miss the FIFA World Cup with a serious knee injury Because this pain is in his right knee but he has suffered enough pain that he is still under treatment Sadiomane is a very important striker of the Senegal team. If he does not participate in the World Cup, the Senegalese team, which has a chance for the World Cup, will be at great risk.

https://i.imgur.com/PxFW0HE.jpg

But we will try to make his pain go away as soon as possible and he recovers quickly.

reportedly it was a very serious injury, even Mane was predicted not to play in the match against Leipzig and also against PSG in the UCL.

senegal lost the most influential person in their team, other players who are predicted to replace mane, don't really have a big contribution. I wonder how far Senegal will be able to survive.

I can only imagine how sad the young man will be. WC is not something that happens every time, it is a tournament that some players won't even test till they finish their football career. I feel for Mane because WC is 4 years something and there is also possibility of one getting injured in the next WC, that is why it is almost painful for every player who had the opportunity to represent but could not because of injury. Take heart my brother Mane.

Sadiomane plays a huge role as one of the famous stars of Senegal. Sadiomane is currently under treatment after suffering from ankle pain. Chances at the 2022 FIFA World Cup It is very sad news from Senegal that he will not be able to play for the Senegalese team this time in the World Cup. Because if Sadiomane cannot play in the World Cup, the Senegal team will be eliminated from the World Cup. Because Senegal's greatest strength is Sadiomane.

Makes sense, as most injuries become even worse when you do not let them heal properly. I know for a fact that things are not that great for Senegal, and once a team that people questioned if they can go up being first in the group, ended up being "could Ecuador or Qatar go up?" just because Mane is gone, he was such a crucial part of the team.

But at the end of the day, injuries happen, look at France, they are the leading candidate to win, and Kante/Pogba duo on the midfield will be missing the cup, which is of course very sad for them but they are a great football nation so they already put others in that place and hoping for title even without them.

Sadio Mane doesn't have a history of serious injuries so far, but a week before the world cup started he had to accept the fact he couldn't play for Senegal in this world cup. Regardless from Sadio Mane, many players failed to strengthen their country's national team due to injury, even England has many players who missed the World Cup due to injury.

I think changed the schedule for the World Cup which is usually held after the league  over is the main problem that causes many players to get injured, they have to play with busy schedule for the club and one week of recovery time I think is not enough to prepare with the national team.

OH NO! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD CUP??

Ii is not nice to have the runner up of Ballon d'Or to be absent in the world cup and today the Ballon d'Or winner himself is in trouble.
Hello Buddy! Can someone check on Benzema? Call him on phone and check if he is fine. I am feeling sad the way this world cup is greeted by injuries.

FabrizioRomano reported this

It is a really sad thing the way some of our favorites football stars will miss the world cup. It was Reece James, Sadio Mane, Christopher Nkunku and now Benzema. He has has some injury challenges this season for his club, but I really expected a fit Benzema for the world cup. It will be another opportunity for Giroud to make his mark again with Mbappe. The french coach already knows that Giroud and Mbappe pairing can still work and is sometimes better than Benzema and Mbappe pairing, so it shouldn't pose too much of a problem to them. It is just that they have lesser options in front of goal.

How many goals did Olivier Giroud score in the last world Cup? ;D
He didn't score more than once, here's a chance also for him to score now
Who should be in line to replace Benzema, Martial or Ben Yedder who comes in, big dreams from Benzema are currently in shambles

In fact, at the "45 minutes" for the start of the World Cup, we learned that the best player in the world will no longer play either.
This Cup is really crazy... I'm in favor of canceling it and extending it to next year, what do you think?
I have never seen a history of so many injuries to such good players before a world cup.
Let's hope that during the games no other important players are seriously injured, as half of the brilliance of this world cup has already left the world cup.

He literally had all the best attacking players by himself that year
Pogba Griezman and Mbappe but failed to score at the tournament and he was the only number nine no competition but he couldn't
If I expect too much from him I am crazy, fast recovery to the ballon d'or award winner

I don't know how Qatar was able to influence FIFA with money that made them to hold this tournament in Qatar, knowing too well their weather conditions. It is because of the weather condition of Qatar that made FIFA to force the world cup to hold by this time.
This is not the right time for the world cup and that is why many players are having injuries and it will impact clubs by next year. FIFA needs to be sued.

the world cup games haven't started yet and these players had injuries far away from qatar, so that's not qatar's fault, but i also think that they shouldn't have organized the world cup in a country where they live in the dictatorship, they banned it a lot, so why the hell did they want to organize the world cup if in their country there are a lot of things they don't allow? for example: they prohibit hugging, kissing and handshaking between men and women in public. they also don't like men and women to wear short things, honestly that's going too far, why did fifa allow this country to organize the world cup? it will be the worst world cup


 ;D

Without a doubt there are many players from Franca happy with this news that Benzema will not play because with that they will be able to play. in the case of Giroud I doubt he will score more than 3 goals in this world cup, Martial is another one that I also don't put much hope in that he would score many goals, I keep asking myself if Griezmann will play 90 minutes or the coach will only put him in a few minutes , in any case, France is already weakened, this opens up more chances for Argentina to be champion. it is very strange that the injury champion Neymar is doing very well

After Kante and Pogba, we have Nkunku being injured as well, and he was such a big dynamite that would help them a lot as well, he is a wild card that could suddenly give you a win out of nowhere sometimes, and that’s the key part in a tournament system, the possibility to get a win.

Aside from that Dybala situation is not certain, he is not seriously injured and it is not sure yet, but he is not at 100% neither, even if he plays, which he probably will, he is not going to be at 100% neither, so it is going to be a bit tough for them. France is also not entirely sure on Benzema and Varane neither, that would be total of 5 players missing if those two are not playing, or cannot play properly and that is may make them not so favourites anymore.

The reason why I mentioned Qatar is it is because of their  weather that the World Cup is held at this time of the season. This is not the period for the world cup. This players would have been injured in their club's and recover during the long break of World Cup.
Most of the people who got injured was during training with their countries. They got injured because they are not used to training with people of other countries just in the middle of the season. The time is wrong

France will definitely miss Pogba and Kante and with Nkunku out the midfield depth reduce. Only Camavinga, Touchamani and Rabiot are left there.

According to LEquipe Benzema is out of the world with Anthony Martial lined up as his replacement. Sad to hear this because I was actually thinking Benzema was faking those injuries at Madrid to be fit for The world Cup but now it seems he didn't.

With this injuries is France heading to early elimination just like other former Defending champions?

French national team are going through a bad time. Maignan, Kimpembe, Kante, Pogba, Nkunku could not participate in the tournament due to injuries. Now Benzema has been added to the list. These misfortunes make them less likely to become champions. Actually, I couldn't find any detailed information about Benzema's injury. But everywhere there is talk that he will miss the tournament. A very dramatic end for a successful football player. Because he probably won't be able to play in the next world cup due to his age. This was his last chance.

Well, the Benzema thing took me by surprise and I think that the Ferancesa team is going through a very bad time, and I recognize that now Deschamps is about to change a lot of his strategy to be able to come out the winner, and for now he only has Mbappé and everyone those who can help the national team, this World Cup is very controversial because it has been full of many injured players and not only from France, Mane's injury in Senegal has also hit them very hard, so these things make a whole group sad Nation, now they have to start looking for a possible replacement for them, and put each of those selections to work.

And well this is something that I did not know that I want to share here:

Well, these things are not to rejoice, but I think he is doing something very convenient, and with that, he fixes two things, the Manchester and Real Madrid manages to do a lot with a veteran who can take the club forward.

Ronaldo does not have the chances to return to Real Madrid. His days in Real Madrid are gone and he should know this. Real Madrid are planning to half young strikers to help the team and not old Ronaldo.
Besides, Benzema is only injured and not dead, he can recover before the world cup ends. Ronaldo himself will not want to be a second option to someone he was first option to. He will rather resign

The weather condition in Qatar is not friendly and this period in Qatar the weather is always seriously hot, the weather condition will make players to get exhausted so quick. I hope players don't have too much issue with the weather condition  so that they can  go respectively clubs well.

Even though I believe Ronaldo is not at a level where he could be Striker for Real Madrid, with Benzema gone for now, they don't really have a replacement neither so it wouldn't really be a bad transfer, not because Ronaldo is "enough" for them, they were looking to get Mbappe for a while, Ronaldo would be a big step back at his age (was better than any other scorer in his prime obviously) so it’s a big question mark but not too bad.

However, will Benzema be that much injured? Will he not come back at all this year? I think he is definitely injured but not THAT much as far as I know, that shouldn't really be a problem for real if it’s just a few months.

NEW INJURY UPDATES

France have more issues go consider as they have another injury problem in addition to Nkuku and Benzema. Bayern Munich Defender Lucas Hernandez is the latest person to get injured for France and face a potential risk of missing the remaining games after he was removed from the game today quickly not even up to twenty minutes of playing.

I am worried about Enner Valencia for Equador who looked injured after their first game, we know he was injured, but we can't confirm yet the extent to know if he can play their next game against Netherlands. If he won't be able to continue the world cup, that will be a big blow to Equador. His importance clearly showed in the first game they played against host Qatar.

Lukaku who also has been struggling with injury, will not play for Belgium in their Opening games.

The most worrisome injury if confirmed will be that of Enner Valencia of Ecuador because his absence will most likely cripple the Ecuador team. He already got two goals in the WC tournament and I will be happy to watch more of him.

For Lucaz Henerndez, it looks serious the way he fell and was helped out of the pitch. But there is no troubles because his brother came in well for him.

There is no much problem for Belgium because Lukaku is not in good form, some young players like Troosard and Tielemas are there.

He is not injured for that long, it is a hamstring issue and should not be more than maybe 1-2 months at most normally unless something bigger is wrong with him.

Obviously, something worse could potentially be longer for injury but I feel like they won't get a player just for a small period of time, they really need ap layer that will replace Bnzema for the long term as well and Ronaldo is not that guy, and I feel like there is no need to do that right now while we are at an early stage of the year. Maybe Osimhen could work, they were looking for him, and if they could get him, now, at winter break, during summer, whenever they can, it would be great for them.

Journalists invent any options for continuing Ronaldo's career to attract readers. Given that he has terminated his contract with Manchester United and is now a free agent, until the very signing of a new contract we will see a lot of similar headlines. Of course I wonder where he will go, but during the World Cup it doesn't seem so important. Maybe his World Championship performance will affect the number and quality of options he will have.

New Injury Update.

Bad news for Denmark as one of their players Thomas Delaney who is 31yrs has been ruled out from the rest of the world cup due to an injury to his knee that he picked up playing  against Tunisia in their first game, He has been ruled out for a couple of weeks and will not be among the Denmark team to play France in their next game.
 source (https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/denmark/world-cup-2022/news/denmarks-thomas-delaney-withdraws-from-world-cup-with-knee-injury_500433.html)

This is the truth no club would want to spend big money to buy a player and pay high salary to that same player and the player will not be able to deliver the reason why he was bought.
Gone are the days cluvs believe in big names, the question is with the big-name deliver ?

Ronaldo is the centre of attention in this world cup all eyes are on him and his ability to prove himself in the World Cup will tell people that he has more years to play but if he performs terribly he could find it difficult to get top team to sign him.


Any Information about NeymarJr?

He left the pitch yesterday like one who was injured. Any information about him? I wouldn't want anything to happen to him, injury has done his worse so far in Benzema and Mane, not again this time.

"We need 24-48 hours to have a better understanding through the MRI. Tomorrow we will have a new assessment. Now we need to wait, we cannot make any premature comments on his evolution. We need to wait.

Hopefully his injury isn't too bad and he can still play in the next matches otherwise it will be like the World Cup 2014 in Brazil where he too got injured in the middle of the tournament. But it looks like Brazil has a lot of options for a striker if he is really injured and needs a longer recovery and it would be better to rest him to be able to play in other more important matches like round of 16.

Several players who have been injured in the current World Cup will not only be detrimental to their national team but also the club where they play because it will definitely have a big impact, especially if they are the core players at the club who are always the starting eleven.

Well, the coach of the Brazilian national team is optimistic about Neymar and says that he will still play at this World Cup. According to the team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar, Neymar's sprained ankle was treated too early immediately after the end of the match, I hope that he will still continue playing at the WC.

It seems to me that the worst thing that can happen to Neymar is that he will have to miss a couple of games, this is a minor injury and should not lead to more significant consequences. Brazil already have 3 points and in the remaining two games of the group stage they need to win at least once - this is an easy task given that their opponents are not so strong, so there is no danger that the absence of Neymar will be important. And to be honest, I think Brazil, even without Neymar, will score 7 or 9 points in the group.

No doubts about that, Brazil really showed quality yesterday, and even when Neymar was removed, they still played superbly. There are many players in the Brazilian side that can inspire their team to victory.

Nobody asked about Harry Kane who there was a concern for him after that knock to his right ankle in their last game, you know they had to carry out a scan on it to know if he will be able to continue in the world cup, he has been declared fit and the concerns settled, he will play for England against USA. That is good news for England because he is a key component amidst the many English stars playing in the world cup.

Its a matter of sorrow for the Brazil fans. Last Thursday Brazilian duo Neymar and Danilo suffered injuries during the game against Serbia. Due to which they will miss the rest of the group matches. Brazil will play two matches against Switzerland and Cameroon in which both of them will not be able to play.

According to the doctor, "Neymar and Danilo went through a MRI on Friday afternoon and found ligament damage in both of their ankles. Doctors said that they will certainly miss the next matches. But the doctors are trying so hard so that they can come back to the World Cup again.

It will be fair if Neymar will miss the next group match and if possible they shouldn't stress him throughout their group match and save him for round 16 actions. Brazil can qualify from the group without Neymar and they will need him badly from round 16.

Any Information about Enner Valencia?

The leading goal scorer in the world cup, the captain of Ecuador was sent of the pitch with a stretcher and his kneel was bandaged. Is there any information about him?

Speaking of Franca and injuries, today the 26th they are playing against Denmark and the Franca coach opted to put Touchamani and Rabiot on and from what I see so far the game is balanced, this shows that those players from Franca who are injured are Franca is not completely dominating the game, if these players were on the pitch, especially Karin Benzema, Franca's power would be much greater than the current one, in short, I bet on Franca and I hope they manage to beat Denmark


for brazilians, neymar is not needed in the team, there are even people from brazil who think they play better without neymar, brazil has many good players, so they don't just depend on one or two players, they have so many players that it would be enough to make team A, B, C and D, but we will see if they will do well even without neymar, as the next games are not against very strong teams they have chances of winning, the question is if they will win easily or they will have difficulties to win the next 2 games, in my opinion brazil is the main candidate to win the world cup

The people with less knowledge in sports and play the gambling means, your thread will be useful one for sure. But all the sports gambling person should learn by seeking knowledge. Once they learn enough knowledge, they are free to start the sports gambling. Maddison game was struck by the injury, it was the big loss for the England at the needed time. Ballon also injured and made the African people to disappointed. Because he was the key player for them. In short period, they can’t replace the key player with the another player. As we know key player made his unique shot in the last 10 minutes.

I have checked Transfermarkt for further information about Neymar's current condition. It says that his return date is still unknown. Even though people are staying positive about his return soon I'm not that much sure for now. Missing the rest of the group matches will be bad for him of course. But hopefully he can catch up with the matches in the later stages.

As for the team they can find a solution to this actually. Because Brazil's most effective line is attacking obviously. There are so many talented wingers in the squad already. For example, Antony can fill his place as a player who can play on both wings.

Losing Neymar like this is certainly very detrimental, especially since he is one of the key players. When Neymar carries the ball, he is always tackled by opposing players, I am so concerned to see Neymar as if he is always being tortured when playing. Antony is actually quite good for that position, but considering his flying hours in the World Cup is still minimal, the coach might think twice about placing his position in Neymar's place. I hope that Neymar can play again as soon as possible and can be a manager of the attack line again.

Injuries can happen any time and that can affect the whole team and your gambling decision.
This is unfortunate to see injury during the matches, and I hope the team can easily adjust on this so they can continue the campaign even having an injured player. If this thread can update from time to time, then this can be a big help to many, this is one way to analyze before you actually place a bet.

Neymar's position is different when playing with the national team compared to PSG, played under second striker and have many time with ball touch make Neymar always become target tackle by opposing player. Bad news after Neymar absent on two matches left for Brazil and he has chance return back to play if his national team can qualify to 16 round.

I agree with you about Neymar position placing as second striker because risk for him become target for opposing player tackle and make many never give space for Neymar controlling the ball, I think give back to left central position for Neymar but Vinicius Jr have settle in the bench if Neymar play there.

The injury in football is common, So the team will replace with another player. It only affected , when the top most player got injury at the last 20 minutes. Mostly all the team is very cautious on this point. Because they will have back up for the player all the time. When the injury was reflected in this thread then and their. It may help the people in the way of gambling bets. Most of the match bet was very curious towards certain player. When the player went to rest, surely his overall performance will be affected and it surely reflected on the gambling bet. It had affect in huge range, but the reflection will be their.

Anyone that says that Brazil doesn't need Neymar or Brazil plays better than Neymar does not know football. They don't know the role of Neymar in any team. All those openings Brazilians see and run during the match are all created by Neymar.
Neymar is the only Brazilian player that has the ability to move the ball from the midfield to the attack. When Neymar moves with football, he moves with 3 to 4 opponents, this creates chances for other players to exploit.
The Brazilian National team coaches and personnels worship him as a King. They know why.
If you think that Neymar is not important to Brazil what Germany did to Brizil will repeat itself.

Now most Brazilian fans make Neymar's injury a joke, some supporters from their country are very happy because Neymar is injured and cannot continue the match, because they think Neymar dives too much, even worse Brazilian fans cheer when Neymar's leg is injured, very much different from the Portuguese star and the Argentinian star,
They consider Ronaldo to be a king and consider Messi to be a god and consider Mane to be their savior, according to media reports that Neymar will retire early from the Brazilian national team.

Based on medical sources an ankle injury with swelling can take up to two to twelve weeks to heal. Neymar is very important player in the Brazil national team and they would want to do everything possible to ensure he comes back quickly. We have hard issues when some player would be given pain killers just to ensure that they come back to the team. But I think Neymar should ensure he takes his time and recover from the injury because quick remedy might lead to permanent injury. Afterall Brazil has some good players that can replace him and Neymar still have the opportunity to feature in the next world cup.

I am very surprise people are saying that Brazilians hate Neymar and they were happy when he was injured. This comments are not completely the truth. Neymar is a player that can pull surprise anytime. A player that is very skillful, score goals and is not scared to confront any defender is an asset to any team. He is one of the best and every coach would like to have him in his team.   

Brazil can go a few games without Neymar, but they will definitely need the creativity of Neymar in some very important games tat will come up for them in the world cup. He is a hyped player in brazil by their coach, and he is not just hyped for hyping sake, but because they all recognize that his creativity and experience is a key factor for the team. In Brazils first goal against Serbia, Neymar's creativity got the ball close to Vinicius to push it the way of Richarlison to score. Great news that his injury has not completely taking him out of the world cup completely.

You said it correctly, that is what is happening and many people do not know about it. Brazil can go through at the group stage without Neymar and they will be okay but from the knock-out stage it is where they will need the influence and creativity of Neymar in the pitch to push them to the next level. Nobody has such a great player and he says that he does not contribute anything. Neymar is a superstar naturally he left his wing for Junior because he can still operate from another wing and put the country in a winning table.

The information that many Brazilians are happy because he is injured is false, no good lover of football will not like to watch Neymar play in the field letalone his country men.

Well what happens is that Neymar's injury as I see it is not that serious, for me the swelling has gone down and what he needs is at least 1 week of rest, what he has to do after the week is to let him play but not completely, but at least 1 time of 45 minutes, of course to save the corresponding rest for the player.

Now with regard to what I know about these injuries, it is that the player within that week what he needs is to do weight training little by little, because he needs to strengthen himself, and that ankle is very sensitive and he needs to gain strength quickly, It is complicated because that type of injury with a touch that is given to it returns to the same or worse, and the worst thing is that it becomes a sprain.

I know the report that came out of the Brazil camp is that Neymar will be available for the knock out stage, but i don't think it is true, i saw a photo of his ankle the other day, that should take about a month to heal and for the player to come back to the field. Brazil may try to force him into it, and they will not be doing Neymar any good as the injury could escalate, and they would not be doing themselves any good too playing with a player who is not completely fit when they have too many talents on the bench. I love Neymar, but i am not optimistic of his chances of playing in this world cup again, except they are all ready to risk it.

Neymar injury is not a good one for Brazil no matter how ever we see it. People who said Brazil team doesn't need Neymar hope they are watching the match and seeing how Brazil is finding it difficult to score Switzerland.  Assuming Neymar is in the team, he would have definitely opened up opportunities to score goals. If Neymar doesn't rejoin the Brazil team, their opportunity to lift the World Cup will be narrowing the more.

I wish Neymar quick recovery.

Neymar is expected to return in only a few days according to some sources. It is very good news for Brazil of course. They are still doing good without him for now as they are close to winning the Switzerland game by 1-0 now. Neymar was replaced with Fred in the starting eleven of this game by the way. They still have a great trio on the front like Vinicius Jr - Richarlison - Raphinha. Brazil's luck has always been with the attackers especially. Even if one of the attacking players gets injured they have another good player to fill his place. Fred is more like a defensive midfielder in fact but he can still be very effective in attacks also.

I don't want to mean like Neymar's absence doesn't change anything of course. He is one of the crucial sources for being a more productive team.

Will Senegal have the chance to participate in the next 2 weeks or have the chance of reaching the finals of the world cup. I doubt if senegal will be able to reach the finals. If Mane recovers quick good for senegal and him, the world is a game Mane never thought of missing it.

I don't understand why Brazilian fans are happy with Neymar's injury, actually, he is in good form, he could have brought Brazil to win the world cup this time

Apart from Neymar, Lucas Hernandez, who is also Francis' mainstay defender, is reported to be unlikely to have the next match with Francis, even though the injury he experienced was very severe and could potentially make him retire from football

this is even more interesting, because injured players greatly affect the performance of their team

Enner Valencia suffered a knee sprain in the match with the Netherlands, but apparently he managed to recover and he is likely to take part in the match with Senegal, so perhaps the injury was not so severe.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/20582040/ecuador-world-cup-enner-valencia-senegal-recovery-england/

He played against Senegal, it was a big risk for them, he was not as effective as he was in other games he has played this world cup, Senegal defended against him well, plus still conscious of his injury challenges, he couldn't do too much.

Another injury challenge for Brazil, Alex Sandro who played so well against Switzerland was removed because he picked up a muscle injury on his left hip, and the team doctors have resolved that he will not be able to play against Cameroon in their next game.

source (https://www.goal.com/en/news/alex-sandro-miss-brazil-world-cup-cameroon-alex-telles/blt6402e7bd7e433b8f)

Big risk for for Enner Valencia but it was a do-or-die game for Ecuador and he was the one who scored all their goals. He is so valuable in their match with Senegal and sacrifices are needed. It could be his last World Cup and he gave his best. Heart-breaking ending for Ecuador as they only needed a draw in that match up. 

Alex Sandro will be replaced by Alex Telles in their match with Cameroon. Brazil is blessed with many talents and are safe in their group. They have time to rest but I am looking forward for him and Neymar to return in the knockout stages.

even though it has passed, Ecuador vs Senegal match was a dramatic match. valencia started and played full to full time, even though Ecuador dominated the match but the attacks carried out by Senegal were more effective than Ecuador, Senegal has already qualified for the last 16 and will face England, and Valencia has done the best for his country.


I'm not sure that Neymar's injury will heal quickly! even though Brazil lost when they faced Cameroon, they still qualified for the last 16 because Sudha managed to collect 6 points, even though Neymar's presence in the Brazil squad is really needed, I see that Vinicius Jr. can replace the role of Neymar who is injured on the front lines, V Jr. is an attacker which is great.

Valencia was Injured but that wasn't obviously seen as he played all the group fixtures with that Injury scoring three goals in the process.
He holds a record for the first South American to score in different World Cups he's been directly involved.

I hope to see Neymar Jr back after the group stage comes to an end, although they have been good without Neymar.
Alex Telles ?! I honestly wish they use someone else in replacement for him he's such a lazy player who doesn't have that strength to match those black player's.

Well sometimes things happen like this, it's a total shame that things hadn't turned out as such because Mane is a fundamental part of that Senegal team, sometimes things can happen like this, maybe if the World Cup had been in June, Well, certain things would have happened anyway, maybe other players would also not have been able to go, I think that God's timing is perfect and that should be accepted, however, anything can happen, I'm sure that the Senegalese players are still very motivated and they will want to win to honor Mané by winning all the games, that is what you can think about and be quite motivated.


Well actually Viicius is a very good player, but I don't think he can replace Neymar Jr, I think Neymar is very necessary for Brazil, Neymar's injury is not that serious, he just needs to have a good rest so he can recover to the fullest, Thank God it wasn't a sprain, but it was very close to being a sprain, what happens is that when speaking in medical terms, the names given to the injury are quite strong and usually scare people, but In itself it is an inflammation on the ankle for having made a bad movement.

Personally, I have had this type of injury, and I know that a physical therapist fixes it in seconds, but it is very weak and some therapies have to be done so that it can recover quickly, in a normal person without the appropriate technology as they have. There in Qatar it takes about 15 days to heal, but there it takes about 1 week, but playing very carefully without taking many blows or shocks.

.                                                                                            It is very unfortunate for Senegal and Germany losing their best players to injury. Senegal will play the round 16 with England with sadio mane the African best player and Germany is already on the process of elimination with Marco Reus. We still hoping for Sadio mane to perform in the world cup before Senegal get elimination.

the injury issue of sadio mane is something that, from what i could read and understand, he will not be able to improve in time to play a game in this world cup, maybe i can assume that even if senegal reached the final of the world cup, he would not be there better health to play in the world cup final, so they are just thinking about him being better for next year's games in the bundesliga, and he was really unlucky, he was the main player in senegal that gave a lot of strength in the qualifying games for the world cup, he reminds me of El Hadji Diouf, but at least El Hadji Diouf played in the world cup for senegal and played very well, without a doubt that mane if he had played he would have been able to score goals in this world Cup

https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/articles/senegal-sadio-mane-will-miss-world-cup-2022-qatar


the news about neymar and the brazil team is bad, according to news channels in portuguese that i could read, they are saying that neymar and some brazil players have fevers and under suspicion of being covid, so the brazil coach will put team B to play against Cameroon tomorrow, as Brazil is already in another phase so it won't be a problem if they lose in this game, I even pray that Cameroon can win in this game and that Switzerland lose in this game so that Cameroon can win move on to another phase, that would be very good because there would be another team from Africa in another phase, now if neymar and other players get covid then that will be something bad for brazil

Regarding Mane I would also say that it is a personal tragedy. This was the tournament that he deserved during his prime age. He wasn't in the very best shape for Bayern Munich, but playing for the national team at such a tournament is a whole different ball game. I think he could and would have been one of the shining stars in Qatar. Senegal is all about the spirit and unbelievable motivation and that is also what Mane is about. Sad to see he couldn't make it and at the next tournament he will be 34.

Regarding the Brazilian team, that's an interesting development and would actually be the easiest way to give players a break without risking to be accused of unfair competition. In the case of Neymar I think it is still uncertain what the situation with his ankle actually is. Although he is acting way too much on the pitch, I still think he deserves to be playing the final round. Hopefully he gets healthy.

I also understand Mane because he is one of the best players in the world let alone best Senegal player, but Reus is not really "that" good, missing him shouldn2t really disrupt Germany all that much.

I agree that he is a good player, but we aren't talking about like Mbappe to France, or Messi to Argentina level of importance here, Reus is good, even great, but he is not a world class superstar level player that worths 150 million or something, dude is a good player and that's it. Without him, Germany should still be able to beat everyone and for some reason they had so much hard time so far, and I am guessing they will continue to have hard time.

Some sources are indicating that Mane's arrival might be mid February. Apart from the World Cup, Mane can miss five games in the Bundesliga. In addition to that his availability for the PSG game is also doubtful in this case. It is on February 14 maybe but Mane might be barely healed until then. He would still need time to reach match fitness.

Mane is going to be a crucial player for Bayern Munich especially in their Champions League game. I hope that he recovers earlier than expected and becomes ready to play for his team at least.

It was big disappointment from every single fan and person that likes Sadio Mane that he will literally miss the world Cup.
If his return then will be mid February don't you think he will miss the chance to fight for Bayern Munich against Paris Saint Germany?
But then even if he is absent Bayern Munich still have the qualities to win Paris Saint Germany during the Champions League and also with the player absent that attacking trio of players will also be absent to hurt Bayern Munich.

Who knows if NeymarJr is fit again

During the match between Brazil and Cameroon, Neymar was shown in the camera for countless times and he was smiling not until Brazil conceived a goal. What I mean is that his face was bright and he was very handsome looking like a model. He doesn't appear like someone who is still under injury. Is there any news if Neymar Jr has recovered and will play Brazil next match?

I still see the note for his injury as he will be back in a few days. But there is no exact date for him to be ready yet. Brazil's South Korea match is going to be played in only two days. Honestly Brazil are still overwhelmingly the favourite side to get past them. They would reach the quarter finals in the absence of Neymar.

However Neymar's services would be needed even more in next stages when they face a much tougher opponent. For example Netherlands or Argentina can be good examples for that as they can face Brazil in the semi finals. Brazil are really lucky to have a great rotation even if one of their crucial players gets injured.

Thank you very much for your response. It is unfair that FIFA does not give enough time for rest after the group stage. This kind of schedule will affect Premier league players who will resume league this month. The schedule is too tight.
Brazil is lucky to have South Korea to meet. It is obvious that Brazil can beat South Korea without Neymar and that will give more time for Neymar to recover. South Korea will only try to defend because they cannot attack openly against Brazil

Well, there's a possibility that he'll make it for the knockout phase but he can still sit and have a lengthy time now that they are just facing South Korea. Yeah, they shouldn't be confident on themselves but I think even without Neymar they can beat South Korea for the next round, maybe he needs to show in front of the camera that he's healthy.

Brazil is a team that is full of talent,apart from Neymar,there are other players that can even make things happen in that squad.I know Neymar is a very good player,but Brazil can do well without him,and looking at the wing position,we have Martinelli of Arsenal that can fill in that gap very well,and even contribute in goals.
The reason they called the numbers of persons they called is so that they will be able to have their chances as well.
A player that has not had enough chances on the pitch in the Brazilian squad is Gabriel Jesus,despite the fine form of the attacker,the coach have decided to be using Richarlison over him,and I even like it so that he will not get injured for Arsenal who are determined to win the premier league tittle this season.

Indeed, for now, Neymar's condition has improved a little, because in the last game against Cameroon, Neymar had done light training and had run a little on the sidelines while his team was practicing, even after the game was over, Neymar had shaken hands with Cameroon players, if Neymar couldn't rejoined the team and couldn't strengthen Brazil in the round of 16, I was afraid they would lose again, because I saw the match at the 2014 world cup Neymar was also injured and couldn't play against Germany, until in the end Brazil was defeated by Germany with a score of 7-1, I really hope that Neymar can quickly recover from his injury and be able to strengthen his team again.

I believe in that as well that's why they'll get an easy pass over South Korea and Neymar can still prolong his rehabilitation regarding this. Maybe when Croatia advanced that's where things should getting serious and for Brazil to need him, I'm expecting these two to match for the quarterfinals.

From what I understand he is already training with the team of physical trainers from Brazil, with that his injury can be seen that it is not serious and that he will soon return to play, you can see him here in this video:

https://www.instagram.com/p/Clq8ffBrVFC/

he is better, with that you can see that soon he will play again, at least that is good news for brazil that yesterday they lost against cameroes, and i confess that this was an expected result, since brazil had already passed to another phase and I wouldn't play very seriously, but they had some good players in the team

I haven't received any news that Neymar will recover from injury soon, but what is certain is that even if Neymar is not there, Brazil still has enough good talented players on the bench. But seeing him smile it looks like he really wants to play in the play-offs later.

The Brazilian fans miss his presence in the team, as evidenced by their second match of the group stage against Serbia; the team survived without him, but his presence would have resulted in more goals.

So far, there has been no feedback regarding his presence in their Knockout match against Korea Republic, but I am confident that the team will do everything possible to win the match because they have teams capable of defeating the Korean team.
We hope he will be able to play again in the World Cup because he is an influential player of the Brazilian team and will help them win easily.

From several sports media that I read. bad news for Brazilian fans, who seem to have to lose Neymar in the next few matches.  Neymar's injury was initially expected to recover until the group phase was over. however, reports predict even worse that the Brazilian star will be out for a longer period of time. Neymar's father, Silva Santos, spoke about the possibility that his son would return to playing. According to him, Neymar can only appear in the final match. Unfortunately, I haven't found an official statement from Tite regarding Neymar's injury.

I'm a little worried about Neymar's absence.  the reason is, without Neymar playing with his national team, Brazil is having a hard time building sharper attacks to break into his opponent's defense. we can refer to the match between Brazil and Switzerland, plus Cameroon. to qualify for the round of 16, I am quite optimistic that Brazil will overthrow South Korea. however, in the next phase. Brazil looks like they will meet a top team, this match will not be easy for them. I hope there is good news for Neymar in the next few days.

Neymar could reportedly miss the rest of the world cup in qatar because of his knee injury.  Last week, Brazil's club doctor Rodrigo Lasmar revealed that Neymar has suffered lateral ligament damage to his right ankle along with a small bone edema.
His recovery phase is going on along with physiotherapy and all other football formalities to make him ready to play in the finals but as you know recovery time is different for everyone and sometimes it might take long than normal .

Changes to the World Cup schedule which are usually carried out in the middle of the year where local competitions have finished their season and now at the end of the year when the leagues have to take a break for the World Cup all activities become so crowded, of all this density the players are the most disadvantaged, especially like the England which known as a country with very tight football competition they will be very tired, but Fifa is unlikely to give players a long break after the group phase because it will affect other competitions, so what can be done now is only run the existing schedule without being able to change it.
What will be the most disadvantaged if there are core players who have to suffer serious injuries while the team still has to continue playing and when he returned to the league he still couldn't play so the club was also at a disadvantage

NEW INJURY UPDATES

This particular update and almost got me really worried, and it is regarding Gabriel Jesus who picked up an injury in Brazil's last game against Cameroon and has been ruled out of the world cup with possible fear of missing out some games in the Premier League, very disturbing news for Arsenal. Alex Telles has also been ruled out for Brazil, another challenge for them.

Tite's options on the bench are slowly been reduced by injuries, Brazilian's will be worried if injuries will be the problem of Brazil in this world cup.
source (https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12760880/gabriel-jesus-brazil-forward-to-miss-rest-of-world-cup-with-knee-injury-and-may-be-absent-for-arsenal-league-games)

More troubles for Brazil. As we are contemplating of Neymar return, Gabriel Jesus has been ruled out of the worl Cup. If Neymar was to be fit, the absence of Jesus might not be felt. But this time around both Neymar and Jesus are in doubt.

I also extend my regards to Arsenal. What people are saying about Arsenal coming down from the EPL table after the world cup is about to happen as their top striker is injured.

Have bad news for Brazil preparing against with South Korea on 16 round after confirming two player have been absent are Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles. Although both player are not in regular position I think still have bad side actually with Gabriel Jesus can be right reserve player when Richarlison faced bad moment scoring goals.

Still not have official announced yet about how long time needed by Gabriel Jesus recovering and I think make Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta worry with his player injured, actually different thing between national team with Gabriel Jesus position, in Arsenal he always become regular position and Primer League begin on 27th December will speculative about Gabriel Jesus can get well or not.

Gabriel Jesus is expected to return around mid January for now. This isn't good news for Arsenal at all. He can lose at least four league matches in the meantime. There are matches against Newcastle and Tottenham among those ones as well. Even his getting ready to play before their Manchester United match might be doubtful.

I know that Arsenal still have done a decent work while Jesus hasn't been scoring for a long time. They continued to show productive performances and moved on. But we don't know how long they can keep this up in his absence as well. Winning big matches is crucial for Arsenal to fight hard for the league title.

I dont know what is happening to Brazil players at this world cup they just keep getting injured,didnt expect jesus to get this badly injured so that he even misses the premier league. For Brazil its good that they have a really huge roster so even 2-3 injuries wont effect their team much and plans for the title.

https://i.imgur.com/IljRPXW.jpg

Brazil might not suffer too much from Gabriel Jesus' absence. However, the injury is a major setback for Arsenal, who is aiming to make a strong EPL title push.

The latest update on Neymar, he recently updated his Twitter account, and it appears that he is back in practice. And he added that he feels good. But Tite might order Neymar to take an additional break. Brazil can defeat Korea, in my opinion, even without Neymar. However, I would not be shocked if he will show up in the quarterfinals.

This is also true for reverse. Gabriel Jesus may come back better for Arsenal, his injury may not be a huge one, and Neymar may get injured again for pushing himself hard to play in the world cup and not be ready for PSG as well. I feel like Brazil is the winner in either case, if Jesus is bad and Neymar is good, that's great for them, if Neymar was bad and Jesus was good that would be great for them too.

Now they are both not entirely sure and yet they do have players who are good in either case, and they will win. At the very worst case put Richarlison at striker and just watch him score, they would be good in any case. They just have way too deep roster.

Well, yes, in part I know that what Real Madrid is looking for are young players, but given that they cannot neglect the league, they need to have a forward who is in the category of Benzema, and CR7 is very level, even the moments in the league have shown it, I have not seen a low performance for CR7, in fact Portugal is doing very well and CR7 is the benchmark, also compared to the other players who are young I have not seen another who is at a level high, and if he is going to play for free for Real Madrid I don't see anything wrong with him, on the contrary, as long as he remains a free agent he can do it and Florentino Pérez should consider it.


Well, players like Neymar Jr and Gabriel Jesús have very different injuries, obviously Neymar is a very good player and his injury is practically ready and recovered, the bad thing is that the ankle is too vulnerable, he has already done exercises with gym and that's good, it has strengthened him, but the ankles are very delicate and that includes very special care when he goes to play, because the slightest touch there can make him become more dangerous again or fall into it again So that's Ney's danger, although I'm sure the player won't save anything to be able to fight for Brazil.

Good to know that Neymar Jr is back and we all saw how he helped his country to win. Congratulations to Brazil. After this stage we will meet the semi's where France will face England. That will be a tough match, with regards to that;

Raheem Sterling flew back to London because of family matters. It was reported that as Sterling was playing for his country, his home was raided by mobs and he flew back to check the safety of his family.
Do we have an idea if he will be available against France?

brazil is one of the few teams in this world cup in which there are many players that even when one, two or even 3 players are injured, they have many other players to play and they will not miss one, or 2 or 3 players, this time Doubts and the big difference in Brazil, but this issue of injury to Gabriel Jesus will affect Arsenal more than Brazil, I sincerely hope he recovers from this injury even before the Premier League starts, because if he is injured when the Premier League starts so arsenal will have some important embezzlements, this will have to carry other strikers and it will be a problem for the arsenal coach who cannot afford to lose points in the premier league


i must admit i was very surprised with neymar's quick recovery and how he played so well yesterday that it didn't even look like the guy was injured days ago, he managed to contribute a lot to the team, but he still needs to work hard if he wants to score a lot goals, because the way brazil plays, they have so many good players that everyone scores goals and it is very difficult to have a player who can score many goals alone


I read that the thieves took jewelry and watches, but that no one was at home and I didn't hear any human victims, so at least no one died, I think that since there were no deaths, I'll give it to him.

It looks as if the situation is becoming worse for Arsenal as it has been confirmed that Gabriel Jesus will undergo a kneel surgery. And we know anything that involves surgery cannot be easily predicted.
It will be safer if Arsenal can sign another striker this January that will hold place for Jesus till he recovers fully and very able to play again. More waits could make them lose points.

Neymar has returned from injury, and he is the soul of the Brazil squad on the pitch. Neymar contributed to his assist to Vini Jr in the match vs South Korea, and he also contributed one goal for that match. with the return of Neymar, Brazil will be even more frightening for their opponents later. the France vs England match will present a very tough match with high game tension.  whoever wins this match later, I am quite optimistic that either France or England will advance to the final round of this championship.

by the way, referring to the title of this thread. so far, from some of the news that I read. Dybala has recovered from his injury, unfortunately until now he has not even played. maybe in terms of performance, he has not met the requirements to be played by Scaloni as the main starting line-up.or maybe, Dybala has been prepared for the match vs Netherlands or against Brazil in the semifinals later.

I want to see his performance in this world cup.

I remember a statement made by Thibaut Courtois that, "FIFA is playing the players too many games in a year".

There is no doubt that football is a game that is very physical. It requires a lot of physicality as well as a lot of mental strength. If players are forced to play too many games, then they are likely to suffer more injuries. In addition, they might as well suffer injuries that will end their careers.

Recently, there have been a lot of competitions for players, including the champions league, the league cup, and some smaller competitions. As we have seen in this World Cup, there have been so many big players injured because of the high frequency of matches that are being played.

My personal opinion is that both FIFA and UEFA should decrease the number of matches that they play. This will ensure that the players stay healthy and give the audience a great show that they deserve.

You know, a few days ago Neymar got injured. I saw Brazilian fans cheering in the comment section when Neymar posted on his Instagram account that he is well and ready for the next game. No one expect such kind of incidents.

Mate you have said it all, FIFA does not care about the welfare of the footballers, what they care is money. also Eufa does not care about the welfare of the players.
Why would they have Champions League and also have Europa League and went ahead to have Conference League they also introduce Eufa Nations league all these things are bringing low quality football out from players.
Like Morocco vs Spain do you know what the Morocco guys work so hard to hold Spain down such that Spain played 1050 passes without having three goals attempt. In the next two days there are up again playing and tearing muscle after which they will not give them time to resume League

It is true that after returning after recovering from an injury, Neymar's role in the midfield attacking Brazil was very important with ball dribbles and the skills he had often confused opposing players. What I fear is when he starts to dribble alone past defenders he will get tackled hard again because we know it is very difficult to stop Neymar when he has the ball. For the match between France and England, both of them have a good squad, but in terms of attack, France still has a slight advantage. Seeing Mbappe running with high acceleration makes it very difficult for opposing defenders to catch up with him. I hope Harry Maguire doesn't make a mistake in this match.

From the start of the Argentina match, I have also been waiting for Dybala to play on the field, but it seems that he still hasn't got a place in coach Scaloni's starting line-up. It is possible that he will be played against the Netherlands later, of course that will make it even more exciting, I wonder if Dybala can give his best for Argentina later. A match to look forward to.

Neymar coming back also means big things for PSG, there was a moment where they were scared that they would lose, but at the end of the day they didn't lose Neymar to injury, if that happened then the games they are going to play would have been harder, and I believe that they need him to beat big name clubs in UCL like Bayern, so it's very important.

In any case, the only injury that remains to be important at this point is France, all other clubs have their players, only France is missing Kante+Pogba+Benzema, which is a lot, like one of them is maybe ok but missing all three is a big problem for them, lets see if they can win without them and go all the way.

Benzema is perhaps the most significant loss, but France has Mbappe, he is in great shape. As for Pogba, he has been without playing practice for a very long time and it is clear that he will not be of any use to the team, so Deschamps did not even call him to the team. If I'm not mistaken, he has already recovered from his injury, but what's the point of him if he didn't play half a season.

Brazil will face Croatia and I'm worried that when Brazil faces Croatia Neymar will be injured again because the Croatian defenders (Barisic and Lovren) are known to be quite sadistic at the back line.
Reportedly, the operation on Gabby's knee injury was successful. He is currently undergoing a rehabilitation process. Arsenal continues to monitor his health. Arsenal is very afraid that after the world cup is over, Gabriel Jesus will not be able to play for Arsenal. right now arsenal is competing hard with man city, so gabby is really needed there.


I don't know what really happened to the France national team, Benzema is actually quite fit but it seems they are trying to focus more on letting young players play. Benzema is the best player and the recipient of the balloon d'or, it looks like they are trying to raise mbappe's prestige.

[/quote]


I don't think it has anything to do with Mbappe. The media said he's fit but if the France coach doesn't call him then he has his reasons. Benzema been in the squad will not hinder Mbappe in any. Even Messi couldn't stop Mbappe from shining. They don't lay the same wing also. Then there's the issue of Giroud. He's been very decent in the world cup and scoring goals, bringing Benzema to the mix now might just kill the rhythm of the team. Not to add that Benzema is not in the form he was last season that led him to win the balon d'or.

The most fascinating thing about the French team is that despite having a lot of injured players, they have arguably the best 11 in the on-going World Cup Competition alongside the Brazil team. But why isn't Sergio Ramos' absence from the World Cup being discussed? He wouldn't have had another chance like this, and he won't ever play in another World Cup.

True about France squad as they could easily line-up another great squad and still be competitive but it's really sad for Benzema to get injured right before the first game as he really wanted to prove again for France and World Cup was his perfect opportunity.

Also true about Sergio Ramos but I guess there are deep roots that goes beyond public knowledge about why he is not in Spain squad anymore but even with that , he is still the greatest defender of all time for Spain and they can't erase that.

How do you mean that Benzema is actually fit but France intentionally dropped him in order to make Mbappe shine?
That story is very wrong because I have read Benzema statement by himself about his injury and giving other people the opportunity to go  represent the country very well.
Where did you read the story that Benzema is fit and was dropped for the World Cup. Even at that Brnzema doesn't play the same wing with mbappe. If Benzema was to be in the World Cup the player that will be sitting on the bench is Giroud.

Benzema isn't fit now. He is expected to return in less than a week. You can easily find his injury information here:

https://www.transfermarkt.com/karim-benzema/verletzungen/spieler/18922 (https://www.transfermarkt.com/karim-benzema/verletzungen/spieler/18922)

It is going to be a month since his injury started. Otherwise there was no reason for France not to add him to their World Cup squad. Giroud is already very helpful for the team now of course. But if Benzema was here then Giroud would wait for his turn in the subs most probably. Benzema won a Ballon d'Or prize last season. He is still a very important player for not only Real Madrid but also France national team. Mbappe and Benzema have a really good understanding of each other in national matches.

Considering his age, we all believe that Sergio Ramos will no longer play with his Spanish national team. after all, Sergio Ramos' absence was not due to injury. that in fact, Luis Enrique did not include Sergio Ramos in the list of names that would strengthen his squad. even though he is 36 years old, at least he is still able to contribute to his national team. sadly, that is the fact that he is not in the plans of the Spanish coach.

On the French side, Descamps is fortunate to have a wide selection of players qualified for his inclusion in his squad list, despite the fact that several French stars, are absent through injury. however, overall the French national team is still very strong with its current eleven players.
As for Karim Benzema, Benzema has been declared recovered and he will focus more on the league competition. a good opportunity for Mbappe, to score as many goals as possible and have the opportunity to become the top scorer in this world cup.

Sergio Ramos right now have been 36 years old and new Spanish manager I think have different with current manager Luis Enrique, but Sergio Ramos must consistency performance with PSG in this season if want get appearance with Spanish actually in EURO 2024 qualifier. Two years later with EURO 2024 Sergio Ramos have been 38 years old and seems difficult playing again for national team but not closed yet for his opportunity playing last time for Spanish if new manager Luis de la Fuente keeps give one defender place for Sergio Ramos.

Kylian Mbappé have scored 5 goals in 4 matches and made two assists in World Cup, seems he has potential become top scorer in World Cup for next match against England in quarter final.

The way I see this is, Gabriel Jesus getting injured is more severe for Arsenal compared to Brazil. Because Brazil have quite a few backups for Gabrielle but Arsenal hardly have a backup for him.

On the same note because you also have a really good attacking option even without Neymar, but Brazil has his replacement who is Vinícius Júnior.

I'm not saying that Brazil won't get hurt from the injury of these two, but they do have quite a few replacements.

It is very unfortunate for the France team not to have Benzema in action. On the other hand, they do have enough replacements for him in the squad to cover his absence. Olivier Giroud has been playing really well in the tournament and there is nothing to talk about Kylian Mbappe as he is the top scorer of the tournament so far scoring five goals already.

The addition of Karim Benzema would've been great for the French people as he has been in top form with Real Madrid so far and also with the France international team. I hope that Giroud and Kylian Mbappe fill the shoes of Karim Benzema well enough because this France team looks like it has the potential to defend the trophy at this World Cup.

bayern munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer suffered a lower leg fracture and underwent surgery on friday. the accident happened during his winter vacation while skiing. bayern munich will now have to do without MN for the rest of the season - Sven Ulreich will now be in goal for all competitive fixtures

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FjnOSO7agAE8opw?format=jpg&name=small

Quick Recovery to him, since the FIFA World Cup they won at Brazil German's have never been good, but still he never brings errors to Bayern Munich.

He is a very good inspiration to any young germans growing up to reach this level.

He is indeed a true captain who have test the length of time. Bayern Munich had quality players I hope his absence won't affect them anyway in goal. They should have started planning for his retirement.

Neuer has been a classy and the most confident goalie I have seen. His experience plus his experience gives him the edge above all.his competitors. He equally has the ability to use his feet very well. I categorise him in the class of Edwin Vandersa of Manchester United and Peter Cech of Chelsea and the then Oliver Kaln. He should be an inspiration to the young generation.
I wish him quickly recovery but I know his age will limit his recovery rate.

Well, I see that Neymar is not that serious, I think that as I said before, those of us who play football have all experienced an ankle this swollen and we know that if we subject it to certain activities it can improve quickly, in South America especially near Where I live, when many years ago I had an injury of this type, the best thing for me was not to go to a doctor, perhaps to do some x-rays, but if it was not necessary, I would go to a gentleman, and despite the pain that could cause it to be so intense and never experienced before, I came out of there totally improved, of course, these things I don't know if in Europe these types of people are called physiotherapists, but here the gentleman removed that swelling in about 3 minutes, something incredible, but it is like that, ethnonces with all the technology that is currently there in Qatar, I think they should do something much better than that.


Well, it's time to wait and see Benzema in action, for me he is already fine, he must be doing gym work, having his therapies and everything required, is that France has a great team, but you have to be realistic, here is the one who Mbappé is enjoying his good moment, although personally I don't like how the player is as a person, and how he has been, well, it cannot be denied that he is a crack, that is something he has, just as Ney has been highly criticized by many, I think that Mbappé, according to his performances at PSG, was what I did not like because he should not choose who to put and who not, he is not the ideal person to do it either, I think that Benzema may already be against England.

the german 'sport bild' reports about a rumour that arsenal london are an option for bayern munich and germany winger Leroy Sane if the 26-year-old does not sign a contract extension by the start of next season.

Having said that, I am in complete agreement with you.

As much as France are saddened by the loss of Karim Benzema to the new generation of football, they have pretty worthy replacements in Kylian Mbappe and Olivier Giroud to replace him.

It has been a great year for Mbappe as he has already scored five goals at the World Cup. I was really impressed by his performance after watching the knockout round match against England, which was the fourth match he had played at the World Cup, and as a result, his performance was really commendable.

I am pretty sure that if France is able to qualify for the finals, Mbappe will be able to score double-digit ~8 goals ::).

It is really sad to hear about this bad news for Bayern Munich. They needed Neuer in the second half of the season the most in fact. Because the Champions League is getting more serious from now on. Bayern Munich have already had a very tough matchup against one of the biggest contenders of the title which is PSG. I don't think Ulreich can perform near Neuer's level.

After this incident I have started to think about if Bayern Munich would think of signing a more reliable striker in January. There would be some good options like players whose contracts are ending in 6 months. I think they will think about that.

There is still quite a list of top players who have not yet recovered from injury. Pogba has also been injured for a while, and Wijnaldum has also been out for a few months. I expect Benzema and Mane to be back on the football fields within a few weeks, actually. Bayern Munich and real Madrid can use these players well. Nowadays players recover faster and easier from certain injuries because the medical facilities are much better than long ago. Speaking of injuries, Neymar also recovered very quickly from his injury suffered in a match at the World Cup. A week later he was playing again.

Injury update

Sad news for Liverpool as Luiz Diaz goes from injury to injury. I read where Luiz was said to go into another injury which may likely knock him out of the season. One will wonder where he picked the injury from, could it be the friendlies that clubs are playing?
Is anyone with a clear information about this development?

Benzema seems to have recovered reasonably well from his injury. And what is also not unimportant is that he is still officially part of the French selection. He has already indicated that he will be present at the World Cup in the final, but I assume he means that he does this as a spectator and not as a player? Maybe then he can take a seat in the stands with Pogba. It still hasn't been restored. Mane will also need some time to get back to full fitness before he will play again at Bayern Munich. Furthermore, the number of injuries at the World Cup has remained minimal. Remarkable.

ya.ya.yo!

https://i.postimg.cc/dV4XVHjR/diaz-injury.png (https://postimages.org/)

This is the current injury information about Luis Diaz. This is the same injury he has been having since October 10 actually. He isn't expected to return before the end of the month as it is seen.

He has been a big loss for Liverpool indeed. After Mane's departure Liverpool needed to fill his place with a decent player. Diaz was a really great choice as he started to play very effective in a short time after his joining the team. Despite Salah's having silent days at the beginning, Diaz showed great performances to keep the team alive. Diaz is likely to miss 2 matches in the EPL at least for now. He has better be ready by this date otherwise the number of matches he might miss would go up to 3.

Sad news for Liverpool, with the injuries, most clubs are seeking reinforcement and planning to take advantage of the January transfer window.

In other news, Argentine supporters are hoping that they get to see Messi play in the finals which he has said will be his last world cup game. Messi skipped training to rest his hamstring. In their game with Croatia, I noticed how often he was rubbing his left hamstring.
https://i.imgur.com/sPMSszw.jpg
That is a major concern and hopefully it doesn't affect his performance.

 source  (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/lionel-messi-injury-update-argentina-28746763.amp)

Hehe Hehe, Hopefully this doesn't get him sidelined on Sunday night else it's a complete walk over for France.
Though, the truth is that I really don't want to see Argentina winning the FIFA World Cup bit what can I do to stop them ?! Nothing, Argentina winning means,  Lisandro Martinez wins the FIFA World Cup after getting bashed by Jamie Caragher Liverpool's legend for being too short.

I'll send him a quick Fvck you if that happens lol. In the Premier League, they protect British player's and Lambast foreign player's who makes the league what it really is.

Well, Mane's injury was quite serious, it is something that cannot be avoided, it is something sad, he could not even go to a World Cup where his people and team were asking for it, I know they need him in their team to play the UCL, but I think that everything that is your health comes first, and before that you must respect it.

On the other hand, I think that his team should manage to be without him, he is a crucial player that is needed, because even the coach of Senegal needs him and that is something that cannot find a replacement so easily, it is very hard to find a player With such quality and accuracy, practically his effectiveness is superior.

What is said the most about the case of Mane and Chelsea:

Chelsea wait on Bayern Munich transfer decision over Christian Pulisic as Sadio Mane plan emerges

Uhmmm, I'd say that injuries are inevitable and sometimes, they're fully aware of the implications of taking an action on the pitch but since they' Maybe on a hotseat, they'll just give in to save the day...( I have seen so many instances like that -- when a player had to slide the ball outta the net and at the process, he hit his balls really hard against the goal post, and was taken away from the pitch)... Yeah, alot of ridiculous things happen.
Someone like kante with the hamstring issues is quite pitiable. I Just believe they're gonna get well soon just to resume their normal team activity -- prolly after Missing the world cup tournament.

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

In fact, players who are the center of attention on the field are the most susceptible to injuries, because they run much more than other players and as they are the center of attention on the field, opponents make every effort to stop them, so physical contact becomes unavoidable or muscle or body wear is also accelerated, a very interesting case is that of messi who just because of so much effort he makes and always being the center of attention he hardly gets prolonged injuries

but you can't say the same thing about neymar that everyone knows he is the center of attention and spends a lot of energy on his dribbling, but he easily gets injured and there are always prolonged injuries, I even start to think that the lifestyle and each player off the field also influences these injuries in some way


I must confess that I laughed a lot at this part, these are things that happen but that make you laugh, I know it's something sad when it happens to the player, but it's still a little funny

Well yes, the Croatians tend to be very zealous in their defensive line, it's like having a lot of PEPE's (Portugal) at their peak when Pepe was a split-bones player, now he's a more mature player and he obviously takes great care of his status, because he even scored a goal, so I hope Ney doesn't get injured either, he's a very handsome player, real, while the dribbles he does are spectacular, sometimes when I'm playing I try to do one of what he does, but there's Some that I do not master, a good skill is required, although I really liked the time that a Free champion made a good tunnel for him (Virgo) that he fell (kidding).


I think that this is the daily bread, players will always face problems that have to do with injuries, and that is something inevitable, to be out of injuries it is necessary not to risk so much, but there are plays where you have What to risk, because otherwise losing a ball due to fear can cause a goal, but let's ask Messi about the time he lost the ball and the Frenchman made a great pass and it meant the tie to go into extra time, things that are of seven styles They are almost inevitable, they have to do their job and they cannot be intimidated by what they do, in fact they are paid for that and even more so when they play for their countries.

There is good news from Europe. Karim Benzema is back in action, having recovered form his injury. He played for around 30 minutes for Real Madrid, in their match against Leganes. There were some rumors that Benzema would be included for the world cup final against Argentina, but it never happened. I guess he will be completely fit in a matter of few weeks. Meanwhile there is still no positive news on the other French superstar - Paul Pogba. Recently Max Allegri (Juventus manager) announced that no fixed timetable has been set for his return.

With Gabriel Jesus out for about 3-4 months, I’m worried for Arsenal because it is a real problem for them because he’s been integral to how good they’ve been. Although Arsenal have not publicly disclosed Jesus's recovery timeline, but he is widely expected to spend around three months out, leaving Eddie Nketiah to shoulder the attacking burden over the rest of the winter. This position where Arsenal find themselves needs urgency because Nketiah cannot give them what Jesus has been giving them before now. They really need to dip into the market to reinforce the attack so they can maintain their position on the table.

The problem is that even if they get someone, which they can't right at this moment but during transfer window, it still leaves a good chunk of games from here until they could get someone, and it would cost a lot and a month or two later they would get Jesus back as well. All of which combined means that either getting a new player for striker or not, both is not enough for them and not a solution.

I think it would be very very important to switch up the formation and find a sustainable method within the club to make sure they do not lose games until they can figure out a way to win without Jesus, that would be the only way they could continue their run.

The absence of Gabriel Jesus, is an incident that is detrimental to The Gunner. in fact, the Brazil coach was not aware that Jesus suffered an injury against Cameroon in the last Qatar world cup. so, Tite was late to withdraw Jesus and was replaced by Pedro. as for other Brazilian players, such as Neymar. Tite was also late to take him off the pitch. this incident should not have happened to these two Brazilian stars.

As a result, Arsenal were very unhappy to hear that one of their stars had to be sidelined for several weeks from the league competition. Like it or not, Arteta must prepare other options such as Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli who can be rotated as center forwards. even then, with one condition, Arteta succeeds in bringing in Mykhaylo Mudryk in the coming January. although the player expressed interest, he was still constrained by the problem of a very high transfer fee. unfavorable situation. although there are several other names that could be Gabriel Jesus' options, such as Joao Felix and several others. but I'm not sure that they will be able to adapt immediately when the league returns.

I hope Arteta can answer Arsenal's current needs by bringing in the right players.

Well, the truth is, all the injuries to these great players have left us with our mouths open, however, Benzema played for the final and he did not do badly at all, I am happy when they come and go out of harm's way, injuries are things that happen and that sometimes they can stop any player, I really liked the example that Neymar set in Brazil, with his very swollen ankle, through the doctors they managed to recover it in time so that he could contribute to his team and despite the fact that he tried very hard, he didn't They could not advance further or even reach a final, their path was very hard, but what I think of all this is that the players who were injured despite everything do not regret it because they have contributed enough to their country.


Well, Gabriel Jesús is something that we all did not expect, however, he came to play, but in part the Club would not have liked to see him on the bench, but they must also feel a bit calm and relaxed because they did not risk it too much and they were able to keep him without many injuries, however he was injured and so much so that he could not play against West Ham, Gabriel Jesús is a very important player for Arsenals, for me he is an icon of Arsenal, however I think that from now on he will be highly valued by some clubs , and perhaps City want him, or even Real Madrid, who made it known that they wanted a Brazilian, perhaps because of the way they play, which is always focused on attack. Although today Arsenal's game against West Ham was on another level.

Mikel Arteta backs Eddie Nketiah to fill Gabriel Jesus void as Arsenal star set challenge

So it hurts a lot, I think that Lio Messi could not stop playing, they give him a good analgesic and let's play, this is a player who would not miss the final for anything in the world, he also had a great commitment because in the final he did not he has won, and I think that this is something that has tormented the Argentine a lot, many compare him with Maradona and that seems to me to be something very incorrect, he has a lot of pressure and I think that in some way this has affected his game, in a way At the moment he wanted to stop playing for his team, I really think this will be his last cup to retire with all the achievements and the maximum that a player can achieve.

However, it will be more difficult for a soccer team to be able to really develop a strategy if taking players from other teams can even take longer than replacing players from their own reserve team. Even though they are not core players, because they often practice together, it will make it easier. to be able to adapt and understand the game of the team.
Apart from that, I believe that every football team always has a backup strategy that is used when their core players are injured and it can be seen that it is very rare for a team to transfer players from outside to join their team.

When Gabriel Jesus got injured, Arteta has floated the possibility of using Gabriel Martinelli through the middle and wants to add attacking reinforcements. But Eddie Nketiah is ready to fill the hole in Arsenal's attack, we saw Nketiah doing the job and against Westham United, he proved himself. I don’t know how far Arsenal will go with this but there are also reports that they’re trying to add another forward to compliment the attack in the absence of Gabriel Jesus. They’re a lot of games to be played, so I expect reinforcement.

In his first match, in the second half of this season, Eddie Nketiah has proven that he can replace Gabriel Jesus. however, of course we can't be sure that he will really play with high performance from match to match. The reason is, West Ham United is not a formidable opponent for the Gunners to conquer. even so, his presence at the moment has helped a little over the vacancy in the center forward position.

As for Gabriel Martinelli, maybe he can also be rotated as a center forward according to the team's needs when playing matches. however, because Knetiah is still around, Arteta doesn't seem to have tried to experiment with Martenelli yet. on the other hand, I think Arsenal still need some newcomers to strengthen their squad. and one of their top priorities is Mudryk, who are now reportedly making their first bid for the Shakhtar Donetsk man.

By the way, Gabriel Jesus is rumored to be out for the next three months and what about Sadio Mane's injury and Christopher Nkuku's injury, does anyone have accurate information regarding these two players.

They can't get someone right now, can they? It's not the transfer window right now as far as I know and not for a while longer. After that, depending on how Gabriel Jesus feels then maybe they could get another player.

How long will he be out? Last I know was like 3 months for the injury and it has been nearly a month already since that was said, which means only 2 months left. If that timing is correct then they shouldn't really get someone for only 2 months absent. If they could hold off for 2 months that would be better. However, if they are looking to get someone for long term, like even if Jesus was healthy type of deal, then it would be reasonable for sure.

Nketiah was doing very well before Jesus came to Arsenal. And Nketiah also did well in some Europa league matches he was privileged to feature. So I am not surprised that he did well in the absence of Gabriel jesus.

These timings are so far. I don't know why football injuries last long. Players like Benzema, Mane , Pogba, Kante etc are supposed to be back and playing by now.

Say no more please he was outstanding and incredibly perfect during the game against Chelsea how many games did he play and how many goals has he currently. He makes good runs but his finishing is still not improved and very poor. Saka, odegaard and Martineli are players pushing Arsenals goals in. That goal against Westham will get him increased feelings.

Benzema is already back to his feet training with other players at Real Madrid, for Pogba and Kante that is still unknown and uncertain

As far as I know, I think he will be out for at least two more months which could be until February 2023. It would be safe to say that he will at least miss around 8 to 10 matches as a result of the injury, which is very unfortunate for both Arsenal and their fans.

In my opinion, the coach did a good job by playing Eddie Nketiah against Westham United. But I do not think that this is a foolproof plan for the next few months. It seems to me that Gabriel Martinelli would be a better option. However, I believe the coach would need to do some trial and error in order to find out what works best for him.

this is news that from what i can see it is still not 100% sure how many months he will actually be without playing, according to espn.com, they said that according to a source from them in brazil gabriel jesus will stay 3 months without playing, but that Arsenal had only said that the surgery was a success and that everyone in the team was rooting for him to recover quickly

https://www.espn.com/soccer/arsenal-engarsenal/story/4826872/arsenal-gabriel-jesus-out-around-3-months-after-knee-surgery-sources

but we all know that when a politician goes public and downplays a problem that people fear is something serious then we all know that the politician is lying, in the case of soccer teams the same thing happens, probably the arsenal is hiding it information so that your opponents do not know the real state of your player, maybe even gabriel returns to play earlier or maybe he returns to play later, this is also part of the arsenal strategy


I hope he doesn't make these trial and error games against troublesome teams, for example the next game against Brighton, bookmakers are giving odds of @2.00 for Arsenal in case of a win but looking at Arsenal's current scenario it even seems like a good chance to bet on Arsenal, but Arsenal's coach can't afford to do any kind of experiment in this game, because Brighton are playing at home and they are a team that after having gone through a bad phase they recovered, and in 5 games they had 3 wins and 2 losses, arsenal will not have an easy game against Brighton

the chelsea match against bournemouth took its toll, one of chelsea's mainstay players had to be injured (reece james) even though he was recovering from a knee injury. chelsea is scheduled to play Nottingham forest at their home ground, potter needs to put someone right at the back-line to replace james, who is back injured.

It seems that the injury problems faced by Reece James are not that worrying, he has a knee injury and that will keep him out of action for up to 2 months. But Reece James' position has been replaced by César Azpilicueta who has the same position as right-back. As the host, Chelsea will certainly benefit greatly against Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge.

There is no doubt that Reece James' injury is a serious one as it is speculated that he will be out for at least two months as a result of it. It is worth noting that he has a suitable replacement in Cesar Azpilicueta, who was also Chelsea's first choice right back before Reece James.

The match against Nottingham Forest should not pose much of a problem for Chelsea. However, it's the injury to Reece James that Chelsea should be most concerned about. This is because two months is quite a long time, I think. You know, there are a lot of games to play during that time.

Azpilicueta is a good player but not as influential to me as Reece James when he plays for Chelsea. With Reece James, Chelsea always have a very good chance at winning, without Reece James, Chelsea always struggles.

Ivan Tooney who has been very good for Brentford and only was not called up to the world cup because England has so many options was stretchered off in their last game for a knee injury, it raised tensions about their clash today with Liverpool. The coach of Brentford Thomas Frank has said that the injury is not significant, but I worry that it may make him not want to get too involved and physical in the games to avoid injuries and that may affect his performance as he is going against some very physical defenders like Van Dijk.

Many people thought Arsenal will have problems because of the absence of Gabriel Jesus.  But the truth is that Arsenal have been doing better even without Gabriel Jesus.  The absence of Gabriel can't be a problem for arsenal because Gabriel was never the strength of Arsenal performance.

FOOTBALL INJURY UPDATE

Ahead of schedule! Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus is already off crutches and showing promising progress ramping up his rehab in the gym in a boost to Mikel Arteta... less than four weeks after knee surgery ended his World Cup (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11602061/Arsenal-striker-Gabriel-Jesus-crutches-showing-progress-knee-surgery.html)

To give the Arsenal supporters like me some reassuring news and hope about the return of our striker, he can now walk around with crutches, we may get to see him play again sooner than expected.

With the series of tough games Arsenal will play soon, I hope no other of our players get injured.

Yes, I am excited for Arsenal fans regarding this update. Soon enough they will get to see one of their favourite players back in action.
This soon enough is me thinking sometime in March. Despite this news, Gabriel Jesus rushed back into the field of play until he is fit.
He is going to be back stronger and dangerous.

I don't like the method at which injury greeted chelsea players, there are many of them you can think of that are injured;
James...
Fofana...
Kanye...
Sterling has joined.
No need to mention alot. All the players have never been available for Potter to make good choices.

Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic picked up injuries against Manchester City last night. With so many injuries to Chelsea players, of course this makes the choice of players less and less for the several matches that Chelsea will face. It seems that Potter has no other choice but to use existing players first while waiting for the results of the transfer of several players who have become their target.

This is good news, I am happy as an Arsenal fan. even so, it looks like Jesus will still need recovery in the next few weeks. hopefully he won't have any problems when he returns to playing with the Gunners later and Arteta doesn't have to bother bringing in a newcomer for the center forward this January. because, if Gabriel recovers quickly Arsenal already have two strikers for the front line. so the problem at the moment, Arsenal is still constrained to bring in several newcomers, I hope Mudryk can join as soon as possible with the young squad of The Gunners. if so, Arteta has plenty of options up front.  there are Nketiah, Jesus and Martinelli who can be rotated to become center forwards. on the other hand, several players in the Gunners' defense such as Takehiro Tomiyasu, Zinchenko have returned to their prime stamina.

Obviously it is going to hurt them going forward as well. They haven't been great already, they are at tenth position and that's a bad place to be in for a great club, and yet even with that much bad situation going on, they are also losing so many players each game and not have the best players available.

It means even at 10th with them on the roster, they are going to be even worse without them on the roster. I do not know how they will do in the future and all, but it is obvious that they are going to be terrible going forward. The best thing to do for them would be making sure that they work as hard as possible to make it as high as possible with whatever they have and that will be very hard to do.

I believe he will be back sometime in March or February. He shouldn't be rushed back though, it will only do more harm to him and his team. What scares me is that he might not be at his best after the injury. I really hope his performance wont be affected by the injury because he is really important for Arsenal especially at that stage of the competition. He will return at a stage in the competition where a single point can changed the position a team is on the table and it will be very hard to recover at that point. Arsenal need the squad depth if they are going to fight for this league because with the different competitions they're in, they will need a lot of rotations and resting of players to prevent fatigue and injuries.

As Transfermarkt reports, there are at least 10 Chelsea players injured this season and imagine how difficult it will be for them to compete in the regular league. If in every club there are usually around 22 to 28 players, then all that's left are 18 players who can appear to strengthen the team and that's what Chelsea is currently experiencing, moreover those who are currently injured are also major players, of course Graham Potter is very dizzy thinking the players. The position of the 10th standings is very bad for the Blues, it is undeniable that usually they are in the top 4 path now they have to swallow many defeats because of injured players.

Having new list of Chelsea players got injured after last match Raheem Sterling have leaving the field on 5th minutes and changed by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on last match defeated by Manchester City. Due many main players injury seems not having way for Graham Potter how to bring back Chelsea from 10th standing until break out to top fourth standing in Primer League.

Chelsea leaving by their regular player with injury, because 10 list name above only Armando Broja as not regular player, all of name list as starting eleven and Kante have absent for long time with Chelsea. Graham Potter have think with left player keep consistency performance and their position on 10th standing is away from habit standing as Chelsea consistency at top fourth standing team.

The longest injured at Chelsea is Kante and until now he has not recovered from injury. However, after the competition started 2 weeks ago, now their list of injured players is increasing and this is indeed the fate that Chelsea must accept. Graham potter doesn't have many options on the other hand he has also been hunting for new targets to fill the void in Chelsea players due to numerous injuries. I hope Chelsea don't drop further than 10th place, it will make them even more tired and mentally wrecked.

kante is lucky enough, even though he is old and still recovering from his hamstring, there is a team that wants him that is barcelona. if chelsea loses kante then I doubt chelsea will finish in the top 5 this season. so far newcastle's performance is much better than chelsea.

I wish Gabriel Jesus a speedy recovery. because after all, Arteta cannot fully rely only on Eddie Nketiah. I'm sure Arteta is well aware of that. Therefore, Arsenal are currently hunting for several players that they will bring to the Emirates Stadium. in particular, for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mudryk. with his arrival with Arsenal, Arteta has other options if Nketiah is not too reliable up front. Arteta can rotate Martinelli to become a center forward, and Mudryk can fill the wing position.

unfortunately, until now there has been no official statement of agreement from shakhtar donetsk.
on the other hand, at this time Arteta's troop squad is ready to carry out the matches, no players were injured except for Gabriel Jesus. so, I hope he can recover quickly so he can return to strengthen the young Gunners squad.

Juventus are still struggling with injury problems. Actually the World Cup break should have been beneficial for them to see their players starting to recover. But there are still many players injured and there are some really important players among them as well. Bremer, Vlahovic, Cuadrado and Bonucci can be given as examples. Vlahovic is still expected to recover by late January while it is mid January for the others I mentioned. As long as these players return until their Europa League matchup there isn't a big problem.

Of course their absence is affecting the team negatively in the Serie A matches. They have had difficulties against Cremonese and now Udinese. But they are still somehow managing to win which is the most important point. They are close to defeat Udinese as well now.

There's this common way footballers disguise for getting injured especially when they had a collision with another player who happens to be the opponent team, they will fake it to attract the attention of the referee in other to get a free kick or get the other player yellow card, this is one of the ways they behave which is by faking been injured, also injury has ruined many footballers career to inefficiency at maximum capacity.

I cannot count Kante to be lucky yer because we have to wait for him to recover fully and still see if he can play as efficient as he used to play before now.
The injury he is passing through at this stage of his career is very risky because due to his age, he may not be able to return again to good form.
Kante has helped Chelsea the best the club can do for him is to extend his contract.

But even though Barcelona are interested in Kante, it is only an option and it seems Barcelona are also targeting other players like Wolves one Ruben Neves to replace Sergio Bosquets if he wants to leave Barcelona or retire. And I think there is no other reason for Kante if he wants to leave Chelsea because his role is still very important and for now there is no one who can replace him at Chelsea even though he is still injured.

You are right. Chelsea is yet to find a cover-up who can perfectly feel into Kante's position.  The present team's performances and results compared to when Kante was in the squad, could tell that His absence is a deficiency. Among other noticeable injuries is James'. Azpiliceuter is a good right back but his effect in the frontal right flank is incomparable to James'. Now our prayer is to see James and Kante being able to perform well when they return from the long-term injury.

Graham Potter is facing difficult moment In His Career as coach, almost all his best players are injured. Is really affecting Chelsea's performance if care not taken they might not even end at Europa line.

Kante, has been on injury for a long time,am scared if Barcelona will still sign him when he returns from injury. Barcelona is also facing their own problem, signing Kante will not change anything in the Barcelona Squad, he's old and not fit right now. Barcelona is looking for players that solve their immediate problem and not long-term problem.
I think Ruben Neves of Wolverhampton is that player that can solve Barcelona immediate midfield problem not Kante.

Ruben Neves is one of my favourite midfielder I. English premier league,  and if Barcelona can get him, thy will be proud to have such a talented midfielder.

FOOTBALL INJURY UPDATE

Everton have extra concerns now in their Midfield, Alex Iwobi who has had many goal assist for them will not play for like three weeks for an ankle Ligament Injury after that challenge from Malacia from Manchester United.

It has just been released that Donny van de Beek will be out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury he suffered on 3 January 2023 against Bournemouth. Erik ten hag has also confirmed this and indeed there is no chance left this season for Donny van de Beek. It is likely that Donny van de Beek will return at the start of the pre-season. Even though he rarely played, at least van de Beek always tried to gain the trust of Erik ten Hag and his Manchester United colleagues. I hope this injury passes soon and Donny van de Beek can return to the field again with Manchester United. :)
