      But the whole country will be sat nervously awaiting an update on their talisman after the 35-year-old failed to appear alongside his team-mates for practice this afternoon.
      Sky Sports started the doubts when reporting from Argentina’s training session as they stated: “We haven’t seen Lionel Messi yet.
      “He might be joining up later, he might be on a different programme to everyone else.
      “But so far we haven’t been able to spot him.”

      Messi will be desperate to add the one prize that has so far evaded him by firing Argentina to World Cup glory in Qatar.
      He suffered heartbreak in the 2014 World Cup Final but he did help them to beat Brazil to claim the Copa America last year.
      Argentina stretched their unbeaten run to 35 matches last night with a 5-0 win over United Arab Emirates in Dubai and can equal Italy’s record by avoiding defeat to the Saudi’s.
      But manager Lionel Scaloni revealed earlier this week that a number of his men are struggling.

      He said that Cristian Romero, Nicholas Gonzalez, Paulo Dybala and Alejandro Gomez are all suffering with injuries.
      And he hinted that he could be considering making some changes ahead of the tournament’s start next week.
      He said: “We have days to decide.
      “There are some players who are physically troubled. The truth is that we are not sure that these 26 players are all in the squad, luckily, we have days to decide if we have to make any modifications.”
      Argentina begin their World Cup campaign with a clash against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
      They then take on Mexico before facing Poland in their final Group C clash on Wednesday 30 November. More

      Jarrod Bowen brushes off World Cup snub as he heads to Disneyland with Love Island star girlfriend Dani Dyer and her son

      WEST HAM star Jarrod Bowen is getting over his World Cup snub with a trip to Disneyland with girlfriend Dani Dyer and her son.The attacker was left out of Southgate’s final England squad, but he was all smiles as his former Love Island contestant girlfriend shared pictures from their trip.

      The couple posed in front of the Disney castle, and in another clip Dyer showed off one-year-old Santiago looked delighted as he played with a bubble machine.
      While the England team prepare for their game with Iran in the blistering heat in Qatar, Bowen and his partner watched as the Disney characters went past, including Mickey Mouse and Goofy.
      The forward got fully into the mood by wearing a Mickey Mouse hat.
      Bowen would have been disappointed not to have made the England World Cup team as he was called up earlier this year following a fine season for West Ham.

      The 25-year-old was instrumental in his side’s run to the Europa League semi-finals before the heartbreak defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.
      He made his debut for England in the 1-0 defeat to Hungary and played the full 90 minutes.
      This season, however, the forward started slowly but showed signs of improvement as he began to find the back of the net.
      Although, much like the West Ham team, he has struggled to maintain his form and has only scored twice in his 15 Premier League appearances this season.

      A Dream Team insider reveals their World Cup XI on the eve of kick-off in Qatar

      by

      TIME to put my cards on the table.Dream Team World Cup scoring officially gets underway on Sunday when hosts Qatar take on Ecuador.
      I’ve tinkered with my XI every day for the last fortnight and I’ve finally settled on a line-up that I’m happy with… for the first week of fixtures at least.
      Please indulge me as I explain my selections…

      TIME IS RUNNING OUT! CLICK HERE TO PLAY DREAM TEAM WORLD CUP NOW – £50,000 PRIZE POT

      A mini-league winning unit (hopefully)Credit: DREAM TEAM
      I decided to splash the cash on not one, not two, but three premium forwards.
      Donating nearly half my £50million budget to just one position has it’s risks but I’m hoping the sheer firepower three Golden Boot candidates will result in plenty of points.
      Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe look particularly strong picks in the opening week with Argentina taking on Saudi Arabia and France set to face Australia.
      And I got the chequebook out again to recruit Kevin De Bruyne, Dream Team World Cup’s most-expensive midfielder.
      The Manchester City playmaker is averaging a goal involvement every 94.6 minutes in the Premier League this season so surely he’ll have a field day against Canada and Morocco in his first two fixtures?
      I’m not 100% sure than Jamal Musiala is a starter for Germany but he should be as he’s arguably been the best player in the Bundesliga this term.
      The 19-year-old is a prodigious talent and with nine goals and eight assists for Bayern Munich in 2022/23, Hansi Flick will surely build the team around him this winter.
      Bring home the bacon, lads!Credit: getty
      Completing my midfield is Andreas Skov Olsen who scored five goals and provided three assists for Denmark in qualifying.
      The Club Bruges winger is arguably his country’s most consistent goal threat and he’s £1.5m cheaper than Christian Eriksen.
      My expensive forward line meant I had to shop around for some bargains at the back, starting with Sergio Rochet between the sticks.
      From what I can tell, he’s likely to be Uruguay’s first-choice goalkeeper over the experienced Fernando Muslera, which makes him dirt-cheap at £2m.
      Switzerland conceded the fewest goals in European qualifying so I’m hoping for a clean sheet from Ricardo Rodriguez and Silvan Widmir against Cameroon on Thursday morning.
      Granted, this may be a short-sighted strategy as they take on pre-tournament favourites Brazil in their second group game but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
      Manifesting a Switzerland clean sheet against Cameroon
      Fingers crossed Leander Dendoncker either starts or comes off the bench against Canada as I think he’s reasonably priced at £3m for Belgium regular – I debated Manuel Akanji in this spot but thought three Switzerland defenders would have been overkill.
      Last but by no means least, a defender I’ve had in my XI since the very first draft, Joakim Maehle.
      Denmark’s left-back was brilliant at Euro 2020 and he scored five goals during qualifying – you can’t ask more than that from someone in his position!
      Call me crazy but I fancy Kasper Hjulmand’s side to top Group D above France and make it to the quarter-final stage.
      That could come back to haunt me but I’m willing to back them in the first week at least as people with more knowledge than me aren’t expecting much from Tunisia.
      All I’ve got to do now is resist the urge to make any changes before the action gets underway…

      Son Heung-Min WILL be fit for South Korea’s World Cup 2022 opener against Uruguay, insists closest pal

      by

      SON HEUNG-MIN will be fit for Korea’s World Cup opener against Uruguay – according to one of his closest pals in football.The Spurs star has been training in a specially adapted face mask after suffering a fractured eye socket in a Champions League clash with Marseille a couple of weeks ago.

      He was only able to rejoin his team-mates for anything approaching a full session earlier this week.
      And it is still far from certain that he will be risked in Thursday’s Group H opener against the South Americans.
      Yet Korean legend Koo Ja-Cheol, who is working in Qatar as a TV pundit for his homeland, insists it is unthinkable that his big buddy will not be in the line-up.
      Ja-Cheol, who won 76 caps before his international retirement in 2019, said: “He plays with such passion that I don’t think anyone would be able to stop him.

      “He never wants to miss out and although he’s not been able to do any heading yet, he will push himself very hard. I expect him to start.
      “With the mask it’s uncomfortable of course, it wouldn’t be 100 per cent condition. But from what I know of him that’s the way it will be.
      “Look, we need to score – I think we will need two to win and who can score for Korea? Everyone says Sonny. “
      Son trained with his eye mask earlier this week, shortly after undergoing surgery on his fractured socket.

      It led to boss Paulo Bento admitting he wasn’t sure whether Son would even be able to train ahead of the World Cup.
      Bento said at the weekend: “We don’t have that information yet. We are in contact with him, with the Tottenham medical department.
      “We need to wait, we need to analyse day by day his situation.
      “We have time to decide and the most important is he recovers as well as possible, he feels comfortable and then we will take the final decision.” More

      The best-paid XI stars at World Cup 2022 – who earn combined £5.2m a WEEK – including Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi

      by

      THE World Cup is nearly here as the best players from across the globe come together in Qatar.A few notable absentees will be missed – including the likes of Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Martin Odegaard and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

      But the vast majority of the world’s best will be in the Middle East for the tournament – which is taking place at the end of the year for the first time since it began.
      And SunSport has taken the time to look at which players are the best-paid heading into the World Cup.
      Five of the 11 players which make up the “best-paid XI” ply their trade in the Premier League.
      France are the most represented country with three names in there, while England has just one representative.

      MANUEL NEUER – GERMANY

      Manuel Neuer is not actually the best paid goalkeeper out there – that goes to Manchester United’s David De Gea.
      But he was snubbed by Spain and left at home to play with his £375,000 per week.
      So instead, German legend Neuer, on £298,000-a-week, is the best paid stopper in Qatar.
      TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD – ENGLAND

      Liverpool right-back Alexander-Arnold, 24, wasn’t even a certain pick by Gareth Southgate.
      His form for the Reds, certainly from a defensive point of view, has been highly questioned this season.
      But he’s loved at Anfield and that’s why he’s paid a whopping £180,000-a-week.
      It makes him the highest-paid right-back going to the World Cup – narrowly ahead of Morocco and PSG man Achraf Hakimi.
      RAPHAEL VARANE – FRANCE
      Varane secured a lucrative contract when joining Man Utd in 2021Credit: Reuters
      The first of three Manchester United stars in this team.
      Varane, 29, was handed a £340,000-a-week deal when he made the switch from the Bernabeu to Old Trafford last year.
      And he will be hoping he can help France retain the World Cup in Qatar, a tournament he proved instrumental in helping them win four years ago.

      Matthijs de Ligt joins Varane at centre-back.
      That’s partly thanks to the absence of the better paid Sergio Ramos – who was overlooked by Spain – and David Alaba whose nation Austria failed to qualify.
      Dutchman De Ligt swapped Juventus for Bayern Munich in the summer and picks up £265,000-a-week for the German giants.
      LUCAS HERNANDEZ – FRANCE

      Perhaps a surprise inclusion for many, Hernandez joins De Ligt as the only Bundesliga stars to make this team.
      The French defender, 26, can play both centre-back and left-back and has done for several years for Bayern Munich.
      His lucrative deal sees him earn £240,000 each week.

      Yet another Manchester United man and a window into just how much the Red Devils are paying their players during this turbulent spell at the club.
      Brazilian star Casemiro, 30, joined from Real Madrid and managed to secure a £350,000-a-week pay packet.
      The World Cup is the one trophy missing from the midfielder’s glittering mantlepiece – which includes five Champions League winners medals.
      KEVIN DE BRUYNE – BELGIUM

      Manchester City’s only member of this team is their midfield maestro De Bruyne.
      The 31-year-old Belgian is on £400,000-a-week at the Etihad, making him their best-paid player – even with the addition of Erling Haaland.
      LIONEL MESSI – ARGENTINA
      Messi is still one of the highest-paid players in the worldCredit: Getty
      Messi’s £750,000-a-week wages are enough to see him secure a place in this team.
      The Argentine, 35, may still be searching for his first World Cup but he is perhaps the greatest player to ever grace the game – so it’s no surprise PSG are paying him that sort of figure.
      NEYMAR – BRAZIL

      Brazilian talisman Neymar, 30, will be hoping to lead his country to a first World Cup in two decades later this year.
      The PSG man earns £600,000-a-week in the French capital, but that pales in comparison to the main man in Paris…
      KYLIAN MBAPPE – FRANCE
      Mbappe is the best-paid player in the world by some distanceCredit: Getty
      The deal Mbappe agreed with PSG earlier this year makes him the best-paid player in the world by some distance.
      It is a ludicrous two-year contract with the option of an additional year should the Frenchman take it up.
      It currently sees Mbappe, 23, earn around £1.6MILLION per WEEK.

      I’m the ‘Living Nostradamus’ who foresaw Covid & Putin’s invasion – here are my predictions for England’s World Cup

      by

      A SO-called future telling prophet has given his predictions for the World Cup ahead of the contest kicking off next week.Athos Salome, from Brazil, has been likened to French astrologer Nostradamus after claiming to have already correctly prophesised the Covid pandemic, the invasion of Ukraine and the Queen’s death.
      Athos Salome has given his World Cup predictionsCredit: @athos_salome/Instagram
      He has revealed the two teams he think will make it to the final in QatarCredit: AFP
      Dubbed “Living Nostradamus”, Athos has revealed the five sides he believes have a chance of getting to the final – and the two he thinks will.
      He told Daily Star Sport: “In a 2011 episode of The Simpsons, Homer Simpson is reading a magazine of solved crossword puzzles and one of the sentences written ‘Brazil is hexacam champion’, but it doesn’t mention that it would be the games in Qatar.
      “People are very trusting, considered as one of the greatest TV series and generated controversy by getting several predictions right for decades.
      “Particularly I don’t feel that Brazil can be hexa, I believe they can be in the final, not the champion.
      More World Cup news
      “Analysing the Kabbalah according to the year of the games 2022, start date and letters of the names of the countries that will play, we can find in the final Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, France and England.”
      Athos believes it will then be Argentina and France in the final clash.
      But Athos has also warned things could take a sinister turn.
      He added: “Due to the large number of cases of Covid-19 which has increased again after the emergence of new sub-variants of Omicron, BQ.1 and XBB, which are more transmissible and resistant to vaccines.
      Most read in The Sun
      “Everything is at risk and could change the course of gaming betting again.
      “Let’s hope and pray that there are no accidents and planes falling from the sky.”
      The Brazilian clairvoyant claims his visions hit him out of the blue, with one of his prophecies warning that “World War III is coming”.
      Another of his predictions warns of imminent danger for an unspecified city, which will see objects “fall from the sky and nothing will be left.”
      He added that “this will be the warning that war has begun”, and ominously anticipates that a pair of “great leaders” will soon unite to attack the United States.
      He warned that the impending damage will be far worse than the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
      While his visions often warn of impending doom, Athos has said he instead intends his prophecies to be used for good so authorities have time to react to the incoming danger.

      “The predictions are made as a warning, not to bring despair to the population”, he said.
      “This is no cause for despair, rather I warn so that the predictions reach the great leaders and something is done to prevent the worst.”

      Senegal midfielder Iliman Ndiaye’s incredible rise from Sunday League to World Cup in just four years

      by

      SENEGAL midfielder Iliman Ndiaye has enjoyed an epic rise from grassroots football to the World Cup – in just four years. The 22-year-old’s extraordinary development in such a short space of time is inspiration for players hustling at the bottom end of England’s football pyramid.
      Iliman Ndiaye will be looking to propel himself into stardom for Senegal at the World CupCredit: Getty
      Ndiaye has been one of the stars of the Championship season so far, only four years after playing at grassroots levelCredit: Rex
      Ndiaye fought his way up through Boreham Wood, Sheffield United U23s and a loan stint in the Northern Premier League to make it to Qatar.
      And he will be praying for a chance to make his way onto the pitch for Senegal, who are still reeling after injury ruled Sadio Mane out of the tournament.
      Ndiaye’s journey upwards began when he was recruited by Rising Ballers, a grassroots football team built from scratch four years ago with the mission to help talented young players get into professional football.
      The venture was started by Brendon Shabani, Jamie Politt and Eni Shabani but they could not have dreamed that one of their own would be heading to Qatar so soon.
      READ MORE ON THE WORLD CUP
      The attacking midfield was spotted playing five-a-side football in Hammersmith and invited down to Rising Ballers.
      The club’s head coach Mahrez Bettache told the Mirror: “He was the talk of the town.
      “He wasn’t sure the club was for him. But then I remember the first time I met him I had a conversation with him. I told him I wanted him to be our star man, who we really focused on.  In the end, he came on board.”
      Ndiaye had been on the fringes of Boreham Wood’s first-team when he left and had initially hesitated at dropping down from non-league to grassroots football.

      But Rising Ballers quickly developed a huge platform on social media and offered an opportunity for stars to show what they were made of.
      The Senegalese star quickly took off and became known for his dizzying runs, his fantastic footwork and his hard work off the ball.
      Bettache adds: “You can tell a footballer by the way he runs. He just fit the profile. He was very silky with the ball.
      “Iliman is probably the best freestyler-slash-footballer I know to this day. The things he does with the ball are just incredible.
      “He just lets his feet do the talking. He is a very humble guy off the pitch. At Rising Ballers, we became like family. Even to this day, we keep in touch with one another.”

      Soon Ndiaye managed to secure a trial at Sheffield United and impressed enough in his week there that he got a contract for the U23s.
      He was soon sent off on loan to Hyde FC in the Northern Premier League, but any chance to impress was cut short as Covid ended the non-league season prematurely.
      The star instead had to impress through the U23s and fight his way into the Blades’ squad.
      While he was a regular in the team last season, it has been since August since Ndiaye has really begun to establish himself at Championship level.
      His nine goals and two assists have helped propel Paul Heckingbottom’s side to second place in the Championship.

      And it fired him to a place in Senegal’s squad for the World Cup.

      Day 1: Qatar take on Ecuador in the 2022 World Cup openerCredit: GETTY
      We’ve got 29 days, 32 teams and 64 matches — a feast of football is about to get underway in Qatar.
      It’s been billed as a ‘World Cup like no other,’ and there’s no doubting the accuracy of that statement.
      It’s the first World Cup to have ever taken place in the Middle East, and the first held midway through a domestic season in winter.
      But it’s not going to be cold. Far from it. Average temperatures in Doha will be around 26 degrees in November and 21 degrees in December.
      Conditions will no doubt play a significant role in deciding who will be crowned 2022 champions, but bookmakers think Brazil will handle it best having installed them as 4/1 favourites.
      If that’s the case, then backing Brazil to win the World Cup and Neymar to be top goalscorer at 22/1 with BoyleSports is a cracking shout. You can claim that special offer HERE*.

      All eyes will be on the Group A opener between Qatar and Ecuador on Sunday afternoon.
      It’s a massive occasion for the hosts, who are competing on the biggest international stage for the first time in their history.
      Ecuador, meanwhile, make their return to the World Cup finals after an eight-year absence.
      On paper, it looks a routine victory for the visitors, who are ranked above Qatar and finished fourth in the notoriously difficult CONMEBOL qualification.
      The bookies agree having priced Ecuador as favourites at 7/5 to win inside 90 minutes.
      But Qatar have history on their side. No host nation has ever lost in a World Cup opener. There’s also not been a goalless draw in an opening WC fixture since 1978.
      They are also on a five-match unbeaten run, which includes a win over Albania and a creditable 2-2 draw against Chile in September.
