The World Cup is just weeks away, but some nations will be going to the tournament in Qatar without some of their best players.
While England are highly likely to be without right-back Reece James, reigning world champions France have their own issues to contend with such as the absences of midfielders N’Golo Kante , Boubacar Kamara and goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
Portugal also have their fair share of problems with Premier League forward duo Diogo Jota and Pedro Neto, plus wingback Ricardo Pereira all unable to compete at the tournament.
