Argentina and France teams had to make numerous last-minute changes in Qatar due to injuries sustained during the FIFA World Cup.

This World Cup's recurring theme is injuries, which will be on full display when Ecuador takes against Qatar on Sunday. As the winter World Cup has a special set of ailments that jeopardize players' tournaments, major stars and significant players like Paul Pogba, Reece James, and Giovani Lo Celso were left off of the final 26 man rosters for their country. And the blows kept coming. In training this week, five players were ruled out of the World Cup, and replacements have been selected for four of them. The most crucial member of the group, Sadio Mane, is the only one who is still without a successor. Due to healing from a right fibula injury, the defending African Cup of Nations winners' heartbeat will miss the competition.
