The 2026 World Cup is here, but the world’s brightest stars are missing! From tactical shocks to brutal injuries, these icons are sidelined:

- **Cole Palmer:** The ultimate England omission.
- **Xavi Simons:** A heartbreaking ACL blow.
- **Rodrygo & Camavinga:** Real Madrid’s stars left behind.
- **Victor Osimhen:** Nigeria’s qualification failure.

North America’s stage is set, but the roster feels incomplete.
