    Michael Essien

    Although he was involved in Ghana’s World Cup qualifiers, where he amassed more than 800 minutes, the midfielder could not take part in the 2010 finals in South Africa.

    In May 2010, it was confirmed that the then Chelsea star will not be part of the Black Stars squad due to a knee injury.

    Ghana went on to the quarterfinals when they were eliminated dramatically by Uruguay on post-match penalties.

    John Obi Mikel

    The Super Eagle was not part of the 2010 finals due to a knee injury that saw him undergo surgery in May of the same year.

    With his absence, Nigeria – who finished last in their group – struggled and could not post a win in their pool that also had Argentina, South Korea, and Greece.

    • Tarik Tissoudali

      The Moroccan will miss the Qatar finals after he suffered a cruciate ligament injury.

      The Gent striker is set to be out for at least six months after suffering a serious setback when he was playing for KAA Gent against Sint-Truiden in Belgium’s top division in August this year.

    • Bouna Sarr of Senegal.Backpagepix.

      Bouna Sarr

      Senegal coach Aliou Cisse will have to draft his Qatar-bound squad without the Bayern Munich star.

      The full-back went through a knee operation, and that will keep him out until 2023.

      Given his prominent role played during the successful Africa Cup of Nations campaign in Cameroon, his absence is set to be felt in the team

      • Marc-Vivien Foe

        The Africa Cup of Nations winner missed the 1998 World Cup finals held in France.

        This is despite his strong individual performance in the previous edition, when he started in all the group games.

        He was, however, in the 2002 squad, but he could not inspire the Indomitable Lions further into the tournament as they were eliminated in the group stage again.

        The Ghanaian defender was ruled out of the 2010 finals after he suffered an ankle injury during their friendly against the Netherlands.

        He underwent surgery after he injured the fracture of the fibula and had to be on the sidelines for three months.
