| World Cup |
The 2022 World Cup will begin on November 20 at noon local time in Qatar, marking the first time the
competition has ever been held in the winter. On December 18, the world's top athletes will compete
in Qatar's championship match. Tragically, some athletes will not be able to compete at the World
Cup.
Argentina
Forward Paulo Dybala has concerns following a quad injury. Because of the numerous injuries he has
sustained over the years, he has not been a core player for head coach Lionel Scaloni. In nearly
seven years and 34 games, Dybala has only made 34 appearances for Argentina, scoring three goals.
He played five games and scored a goal in 2022 final against Italy, which is more of a replacement
performance, although he only had one start in the previous twelve months. Although Dybala's
absence from the World Cup will undoubtedly be felt by Scaloni, the coach has already proven that he
can play without the Roma striker in recent months. Under the circumstances, kick the ball.
