Not all star players are lucky enough to belong to a country that stands out in the world of football. This is the case of players such as George Weah, who was capped by Liberia and had a difficult time in the most important event in world football. There are many other cases in which players are left out of these competitions, either due to injuries, sanctions, war conflicts - the case of Kubala and Hungary - or other reasons. It is a shame for football as a sport to have the opportunity to see legendary matches in a World Cup, which are prevented by circumstances of weight.
We bring you a list in which we show you the most outstanding names in current leagues, who are missing the World Cup for various reasons.
