Belgium star Kevin De Bruyne has hinted that the 2022 World Cup could be his last one as he believes that while he is 31 years old, the schedule has been too hectic to think about things. The 31-year-old has been a key part of the Belgium national team, earning 93 caps and scoring 25 goals.

In light of his injury, Barcelona’s Jules Kounde has hit out at the schedule and the organisers as he believes that football is sliding down a crazy path and nobody is doing anything to stop it. The Frenchman and Eric Garcia were forced to leave the field against Valencia after suffering injuries.

Manchester City star Kyle Walker believes that he will be fit in time to make the final cut for England’s 2022 World Cup squad despite his injury. The 32-year-old has undergone surgery for a groin issue which has brought his participation in the event under doubt with no set time frame for a return.

In light of Angel Di Maria and Paulo Dybala’s injury concerns, Lionel Messi has admitted that he is worried about his own fitness, especially with the 2022 World Cup around the corner. The two Argentine forwards have sustained significant blows and could miss the quadrennial tournament.
