Players not partaking for various reasons in the World Cup
Not partaking for various reasons; it's a significant list. Particularly unfortunate in the case of injuries in the warm up games....perhaps a rethink is needed on the number of fixtures played. Any others out there?
Bale Ibrahimovic Lewandowski Alaba Nasri Tevez Ribery Reus Isco Navas Benteke Thiago Alcantara Cech Montolivo Falcao Van der Vaart Bender Badstuber Strootman Rossi Ronaldo? Suarez? Costa? Pepe? Oxlade Chamberlain? |

Most of those didn't qualify. If they did you would have another list of players who played for those teams who didn't make it.
A never ending list. Not every team can make it. Alot of those just didn't get picked as well, even though their teams made it. |

does it need pointing out that the top 3 players are out of the world cup for reasons other than injuires? Mainly, their teams not qualifying for it?
Ive not even checked the rest of the list because of that |

I think most football fans won't need it pointing out....it just looks significant when listed out. Particularly when we will be graced by the presence of Shola Ameobi over the next couple of weeks at least.

I think Walcott would have made the squad had he been fit.
Russia captain Shirokov got injured recently too IIRC. |

OP your list is a bizarre one. Most of the players on your list play for countries which didn't qualify, or are not deemed good enough their national squad.

12 injured and definitely out (including Walcott and Shirokov) 5 didn't qualify 5 not picked (1 of whom is seen as too much of an injury risk!) 5? Due to injury |

Perhaps I should have worded the title differently. In any case the breakdown for those interested:

No point including Bale. We all know that he will never ever play in the world cup

I'm hoping the new structure of the Euros at least gives us finalists like Wales, Scotland, etc. I think this will be the 8th major tournament in a row that Scotland haven't been at and Wales go back a lot lot longer than that! |

The future is unwritten. Did anyone ever think Greece would be European Champions? If they can do that then Wales can qualify for a World Cup.

Ronaldo has limped out of a Portugal training session with an ice pack on his knee and is now a serious doubt for the WC.
