World Cup injury list: The players facing anxious waits ahead of Qatar

With the World Cup less than three weeks away, nerves will be setting in for those players still on the treatment table.

For Paul Pogba, his World Cup dream is already over. Having not played all season for Juventus due to a knee injury, Pogba's agent Rafaela Pimenta has confirmed the midfielder will not recover in time to take his place on the plane for Qatar as France look to retain the crown they won in 2018.

Availability is less clear cut with other stars, though. Gareth Southgate is sweating on the fitness of three England regulars, with Kyle Walker, Kalvin Phillips and Reece James all currently sidelined.
