Taiwanese media TTV News reported that regarding the FIFA World Cup (W Cup) opening in June, "Brazil, Japan, and the Netherlands will be missing key players due to injury, and the injury status of Argentina's Messi is also a concern." This year's World Cup will kick off on June 11, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The article first reported that for Brazil, not only did Real Madrid striker Rodrygo suffer a major injury in March, tearing his anterior cruciate ligament and forcing him to withdraw from the World Cup, but ace Neymar also injured his calf, making his participation in the first match of the World Cup group stage uncertain. Regarding Japan, it was mentioned that Kaoru Mitoma, a key player in their wing attacks, will miss the World Cup due to a left hamstring injury, and it was reported that "his absence will inevitably affect the team's strength." Regarding the Netherlands, it was mentioned that 23-year-old attacker Xavi Simons was excluded from the World Cup squad due to injury, and it was reported that "the manager will face a greater challenge in player selection." Regarding Argentina's absolute ace, forward Messi, who plays for MLS Miami, it was mentioned that he requested a substitution and left the field in the 28th minute of the second half during the match against Philadelphia on the 24th, and it was reported that "given the injury occurring just before the World Cup, concerns about his condition still remain." The article concluded by stating that "as the World Cup opening approaches, each team is not only focused on strengthening cohesion but also on addressing the impact of injuries," and "the ability to maintain competitiveness despite the absence of key players will be a crucial key to the path to victory."
