ALVISE CAGNAZZO: Giroud shows no signs of slowing down, Rabiot has been a surprise package while Szczesny kept Poland afloat - but it's been a disaster for Lukaku, Dybala and Onana... The Serie A stars to dazzle and flop at the World Cup

There are 65 players from Serie A participating in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

As many as 21 of the 32 teams to begin the competition boasting at least one player from the Italian divisions - most from the top flight but one (Morocco's Walid Cheddira) playing in the second-tier Serie B for Luigi De Laurentiis' Bari.

So how are they getting on at the tournament? Olivier Giroud has showed no signs of slowing down, Adrien Rabiot has been a surprise package and goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has kept Poland afloat.

But it's been a disastrous tournament for Romelu Lukaku, Cameron stopper Andre Onana and Argentina forward Paulo Dybala.
