Chelsea duo Reece James and Ben Chilwell are sidelined, while France are rocked by late injuries to Karim Benzema and Christopher Nkunku for their title defence in Qatar... but which other stars feature in our injured XI missing out on the World Cup?

At the end of this week, football's biggest stars will come together to partake in the sport's biggest event; the World Cup.

Though, in unprecedented circumstances, this edition of the tournament will be played mid-way through a domestic season - leading to a number of star players missing out through injury.

With some of football's biggest names sidelined for the World Cup, it only seems right to shine a light on the wealth of talent that unfortunately will not be in Qatar.

Here, Sportsmail takes you through our World Cup Injured XI which features a host of Premier League, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 talents.
