Qatar injury cup
November 10, Thursday, 2022
As long as the World Cup football is going on, a survival situation is going on for the professional footballers to survive the injury. The number of injury sufferers is increasing day by day. Since about 1 month ago, we who were Argentina supporters were praying that no Argentinian player would get injured before the World Cup. But what was most suspected, an injury-free Argentina squad was never to be found. The gem of the field in Argentina, Messi owns the highest number of assists, who plays as a defensive and attacking midfielder at the same time, his name is Lo Celso. He will not be seen playing for Argentina in this World Cup.
But Lo Celso was willing to do anything to play in the World Cup in Qatar. His leg injury required surgery, but Lo Celso refused to undergo the surgery, as if he did, he would have to rest for 1 month and not be able to play in the World Cup. So he wanted to play in the World Cup with the injury. But Argentina's coach, Lionel Scaloni, did not keep him in the World Cup squad, ending his World Cup dream in Qatar.
Also, Senegal's only hope, Sadio Mané, was injured yesterday in the opponent's game with Brian Munich. He is the captain of the Senegal football team, and currently the only dream of African football is injured. Due to which Sadio Mane's absence from Senegal's score in the ongoing World Cup has to be excluded from Senegal's squad.
Son Heung-min, the only pride of our Asian continent, got injured a few days ago. The cause of his injury was a blow under his eye. The eye injury required a few stitches to stop the bleeding. There are also some other star players like France's Paul Pogba who is injured and will not be able to participate in the World Cup this year.
Now think, the injuries of so many star players, how many ordinary players who were very eager to play in the World Cup and at the end of the day they get injured and their dream of playing in the World Cup is ruined.
In 2018, Argentina coach Simiol included Lo Celso in the World Cup squad, but he was never allowed to play a match. He took more interest in this 2022 World Cup to play in the World Cup and bring Lionel Messi and Argentina their third World Cup trophy. But his dream did not come true.
The main reason for the injury of so many star players is the seasonal games. Seasonal games should have given all types of players a month's rest before the World Cup. So that those who are injured can fully recover to participate in the World Cup, and those who are healthy can prepare for the World Cup. But several leagues, including the Europa League, continue to play until seven days before the World Cup, which means that those who have suffered injuries recently are being left out of World Cup squads.
But the authorities of all the seasonal leagues should have stopped the league games at least 15-20 days before the World Cup. Then maybe players like Lo Celso could have played in the World Cup. So this World Cup can be termed as the World Cup of many injuries.
