Jamie Carragher criticizes the timing of the FIFA World Cup as Sadio Mane becomes the latest absentee

Varane was in tears after picking up a knock close to the tournament Liverpool legend Carragher was scathing in his assessment of the timing of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Players are incurring injuries midway through the season at a stage where normally the World Cup would be played in the summer. The tournament was moved to the winter due to the temperature in the Middle Eastern country. Carragher alluded to France's Raphael Varane as an example of a player who is at risk of missing the competition. The Manchester United defender limped off during a 1-1 draw between the Red Devils and Chelsea on 22 October. Carragher : "It gets moved to the situation where it is now in the middle of the season. Players all around Europe and the world could get injured in the next couple of weeks; [Raphael] Varane was crying coming off the pitch at Stamford Bridge. That's how close we are to a World Cup." It's not just long-term injuries impacting players' chances of playing in Qatar but also minor problems. Carragher added: "An injury, a 10-day or a two-week injury, is going to keep players out of a World Cup and it should not be happening. And it all started with FIFA giving Qatar the World Cup in the first place and then moving it. I think it's absolutely disgusting."BREAKING : Reece James will miss the World Cup after failing to recover from a knee injury.BREAKING : Reece James will miss the World Cup after failing to recover from a knee injury.
