Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal are set to take part in the World Cup after injury concerns earlier raised doubts about their availability. Multiple outlets report that the players’ fitness issues prompted scrutiny ahead of the tournament, but all three are ultimately named in their respective national-team squads for the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. While their injury scares heighten attention on their readiness, the squad selections indicate they are considered fit enough to compete.
The reports also note that not all players facing uncertainty have had the same outcome. Alongside the three high-profile names, other players tied to teams and injury worries are not included in World Cup squads, according to the coverage. Taken together, the articles portray a World Cup lineup shaped by late fitness checks and roster decisions made by national team staff, with Messi, Mbappé and Yamal ultimately confirmed despite concerns about injuries.
