World Cup injuries 2022: Complete list of players who could miss out

The 2022 FIFA World Cup is the first to be held in the months of November and December, and the timing is already having an impact on the participating teams. Due to the intense summer heat in host nation Qatar, the World Cup had to be moved from the usual June-July window. While the scheduling change will make for better playing conditions for the players, it has also posed a challenge for a number of squads. Since the World Cup tournament falls smack in the middle of the European club season, rather than during the off-season which has been customary, it means any players injured in the weeks leading up to the World Cup are in danger of missing the tournament. In past editions, these players had several weeks to recover prior to the tournament's kickoff, but this time around there is precious little time between the break from club play (November 14) and the start of the World Cup on Sunday, November 20.
