The 2022 FIFA World Cup will not feature quite a few big names following the elimination of multiple stars over the last six months. Italy's last-minute loss to North Macedonia in the qualifiers was the latest shock, especially after the Azzurri won the European Championship last summer.However, stars from various other countries are also poised to miss out on the FIFA World Cup this year.A number of big names will be absent at the 2022 FIFA World CupThe tournament, which is scheduled to be held in November later this year, will not have many big names. These stars might not be playing for big countries, but their individual skillset is enough to show that they should be playing in the biggest competitions in the world.On that note, let's take a look at the most valuable starting XI who will not be going to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.GK- Gianluigi Donnarumma- €65 millionItaly Training Session & Press ConferenceGianluigi Donnarumma was the hero at the Euros for Italy but unfortunately, the shot-stopper will not be going to the upcoming FIFA World Cup.CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️@CBSSportsGolazoMarch hasn’t been the best for Gianluigi Donnarumma. 4:00 AM · Mar 25, 202223124March hasn’t been the best for Gianluigi Donnarumma. 😞 https://t.co/rJE3lcx9q4As mentioned above, Italy had to beat North Macedonia before playing either Portugal or Turkey in their ultimate qualifier. But to everybody's surprise, they were knocked out at the penultimate stage itself. Donnarumma, who has been excellent for the better part of last year, will have to wait four more years before hoping to play in the grandest competition of the game.This failure did not come at a good time for the goalkeeper, especially as PSG were also recently knocked out of the Champions League.CB- Milan Skriniar- €65 millionFC Internazionale v Venezia FC - Serie AMilan Skriniar has arguably been the best centre-back in Serie A over the last couple of years. However, the Slovakian star will not be at this year's FIFA World Cup.Inter Xtra@Inter_XtraMilan Skriniar has been named Slovakian Footballer of the Year for the third consecutive year!7:08 AM · Mar 23, 202229920Milan Skriniar has been named Slovakian Footballer of the Year for the third consecutive year! https://t.co/kZErbhUe1hThe Falcons had a tough group to get through, with both Croatia and Russia being a part of it. The latter two sides took the 1st and 2nd spot in the group, leaving Slovakia with the prospect of not qualifying for a third consecutive FIFA World Cup.But this would be a major regret for a player like Skriniar who has been excellent in domestic football over the last half a decade.With the defender turning 27 last month, he will be hoping to play in the FIFA World Cup once before retiring.LB- David Alaba- €55 millionUkraine v Austria - UEFA Euro 2020: Group CDavid Alaba has been sensational domestically as well in international football over the last decade.Football Daily@footballdailyReal Madrid teammates Gareth Bale & David Alaba at full-time 🤝3:13 AM · Mar 25, 20225057439Real Madrid teammates Gareth Bale & David Alaba at full-time 🤝 https://t.co/pikDvcmJDMAlthough Austria have not picked up major silverware for a long time, they have been at several tournaments. They also got to the qualifiers but could not get past Wales.Alaba will now be hoping to focus on Real Madrid but given that he is still 28, he could have another shot at playing at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.RB- Davide Calabria- €25 millionItaly Training SessionDavide Calabria is not the most prominent player in world football but he has done well domestically this season. The full-back has scored two goals and provided three assists in 19 league appearances for Milan.Jerry Mancini@jmancini8With Di Lorenzo out, Davide Calabria should be Italy’s starting right-back. He has put forth impressive performances for MilanIn the past two seasons his defensive game has really turned around & improved. Offensively, he’s been great & consistentHe should have been called up4:26 AM · Mar 22, 2022402With Di Lorenzo out, Davide Calabria should be Italy’s starting right-back. He has put forth impressive performances for MilanIn the past two seasons his defensive game has really turned around & improved. Offensively, he’s been great & consistentHe should have been called up https://t.co/Do89VV3yZoThis led to him being part of the Italy squad that lost in the UEFA Nations League semi-final against Spain in October last year. He was not a part of the current squad that lost to North Macedonia. Calabri could have made his way into the squad if they had qualified for the FIFA World Cup.Calabria could have taken a step-up if he had been successful in a major international competition. Regardless, he will now have to wait a couple of years to do the same.CDM- Marco Verratti- €55 millionItaly v North Macedonia: Knockout Round Play-Offs - 2022 FIFA World Cup QualifierMarco Verratti is currently one of the best central midfielders in world football. His performances at Paris Saint-Germain are evidence of the same as is his role in the Italian national team.ESPN FC@ESPNFCVerratti was devastated after Italy's loss 🥺3:44 AM · Mar 25, 20224650400Verratti was devastated after Italy's loss 🥺 https://t.co/tqWonSifKxHowever, for all his brilliance, Verratti could not do enough for his country against North Macedonia. The Azzurri were primed to go through against the minnows and several would have had them as favorites against Portugal or Turkey as well. After all, this was a side that won the Euros eight months ago, with the PSG star being a key part of the squad. Verratti, who will turn 30 this year, might never get to play in another FIFA World Cup.CM- Franck Kessie- €42 millionFrance v Ivory Coast - International FriendlyFranck Kessie has been instrumental for AC Milan over the last few years but has not been able to replicate those performances on the international stage.Milan Eye@MilanEyeKessie played full 90 minutes in Ivory Coast’s 1-0 defeat against Cameroon.

They have failed to qualify to the World Cup playoffs https://t.co/oPHgwiin3tIvory Coast have had a largely unsettling six months. They lost their place at the 2022 World Cup after losing a vital qualification fixture against Cameroon in November. This was followed by a Round of 16 elimination in the AFCON Cup this year.So while Kessie has produced classy moments in Italy and will join Barcelona in the summer, there will be no international glory for him this year.CM- Nicolo Barella- €70 millionItaly Training Session & Press ConferenceNicolo Barella has been quite good for Inter Milan this season, as evidenced by his two goals and 10 assists in 27 Serie A appearances.👑🐉 Perisnitch@snajathsNicolo Barella for the third year in a row was included in Serie A's best XI.2019 (with Cagliari) alongside Ilicic & Pjanic.2020 (with Inter) alongside Luis Alberto & Papu Gomez2021 (with Inter) alongside Kessie.The best in Serie A.6:06 AM · Mar 21, 202252355Nicolo Barella for the third year in a row was included in Serie A's best XI.2019 (with Cagliari) alongside Ilicic & Pjanic.2020 (with Inter) alongside Luis Alberto & Papu Gomez2021 (with Inter) alongside Kessie.The best in Serie A. https://t.co/gtw4VHgVzdBut like every other Italian player on this list, Barella too, shall miss out on this year's FIFA World Cup. He was part of the starting line-up that lost to North Macedonia recently in the qualifiers. It was quite astounding to see the Inter Milan star doing very little to affect the game, especially after a splendid Euros. Barella will now have to wait a good while before Italy get a shot at qualifying for the next FIFA World Cup.AM- Martin Odegaard- €42 millionNorway v Greece - International FrienldyOne of the two Norwegian stars on this list, Martin Odegaard will not be a part of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar this year.Pain In The Arsenal@PainInThArsenalMartin Odegaard looks set to be the next Arsenal player to miss out on qualification to the World Cup.Norway are losing 1-0 to Netherlands with 2 minutes to go.They've had 1 shot, 33% possession, and need to score twice.3:01 AM · Nov 17, 2021533Martin Odegaard looks set to be the next Arsenal player to miss out on qualification to the World Cup.Norway are losing 1-0 to Netherlands with 2 minutes to go.They've had 1 shot, 33% possession, and need to score twice. https://t.co/xSVZC5XHshThe attacking midfielder, who sealed a move to Arsenal last summer, has been terrific for the Gunners. He failed to produce the same scintallating performance for Norway when they needed it during the qualifiers. In November 2021, their defeat to the Netherlands confirmed that they will not form part of the upcoming FIFA World CupST- Erling Haaland- €150 millionNorway v Greece - International FrienldyBy and far the most valuable player on this list, Erling Haaland will not be present at the FIFA World Cup in November 2022.GOAL@goalErling Haaland and Norway won't be at the 2022 World Cup 3:07 AM · Nov 17, 2021395082197Erling Haaland and Norway won't be at the 2022 World Cup 💔 https://t.co/RRGARE5SeXThe Borussia Dortmund star has been scoring goals for fun for over two years now. To put his importance into context, he has 80 goals in 82 games for the German club. To add to that, the 21-year-old ace also has 13 international goals in 16 games for Norway. But due to an injury in November last year, he could not do anything to affect his country's qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.While he is still very young, Haaland would have liked to make a mark at FIFA's premier sporting event this year.ST- Patrik Schick- €40 millionNetherlands v Czech Republic - UEFA Euro 2020: Round of 16Patrik Schick is one of the most in-form players in the Bundesliga at the moment. But the Bayer Leverkusen star will not be at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.GOAL@goalPlayers to have reached 20+ goals in Europe's top five leagues this season: Robert Lewandowski Patrik Schick1:59 AM · Feb 19, 202211756587Players to have reached 20+ goals in Europe's top five leagues this season:▪️ Robert Lewandowski▪️ Patrik Schick https://t.co/270Uk9hb00Czech Republic made their way to this month's qualifiers and had to defeat Sweden before playing Poland in the ultimate qualifier. However, they failed to do so. Schick could also do very little about this as he was unavailable for the Sweden fixture as his national side went on to lose in extra time.
