Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup consecutively. Once again the final will lose star names including Jorginho, Marco Verratti and Gianluigi Donnarumma.
However, they won't be the only big names to miss the show. Goaljersey Editor has picked 11 players who will be watching from a distance as the year-end games begin.
The World Cup is a showcase for the best players in the world, however, these world-class soccer players won’t be flying to the Middle East this November.
We start our list with third place behind Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski at last year's Ballon d'Or ceremony.
Jorginho has enjoyed great success since joining Chelsea from Napoli in 2018, winning the Europa League, Super Cup, Club World Cup, and Champions League at Stamford Bridge. After an incredible 2021 which had seen the 30-year-old become a European champion with club and country, Jorginho also received plenty of recognition during the campaign, being named in the FIFA FIFPro Men’s World 11, selected by professional players around the world, alongside midfield partner N'Golo Kante, before receiving the UEFA Men's Player of the Year award and coming third in the vote for the Ballon d'Or.
The Italian international is a highly technical midfielder capable of dictating the tempo of play in possession with quick passing and movement. He has most often been deployed as a deep-lying playmaker in midfield, using his ability to link defence and attack.
Although he was born in Imbituba, Brazil, Jorginho's nationality is Italian. On the international level, he plays for Italy's national team which is famous for being the most tactical national football league. So far they have won 48 European trophies and earned the name of the second most successful nation in European football.
