Erling Haaland
Norway
Das Erling Haaland, the most sought-after striker in the world, will not be seen in action in Qatar World Cup 2022. After leaving his mark in the Austrian League and Bundesliga, Haaland has taken the Premier League by storm, smashing 18 goals in just 12 appearances for Manchester City.
Despite scoring five goals in the qualifying round, Haaland failed to drive Norway to the marquee competition in Qatar, as they were edged out by Turkey, who claimed second place behind the Netherlands. Norway managed only one victory in the absence of Haaland in the final four games of the qualifiers.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Sweden
Earlier reports suggested that the legendary striker was considering international retirement for a while. However, he laid the speculations to rest, and pushed for a selection for Sweden. Sadly, though, even Ibrahimovic couldn't overturn the two-goal deficit inflicted by Poland in the play-off decider earlier this year in March. It was strange to see Sweden crashing out of the Qatar World Cup, given only four years ago they stunned everyone by beating the Netherlands in the qualifying fixture, and Germany in the group stage. By the time the 2026 World Cup begins, Zlatan will already be 45, thus it's fair to say that he won't be adding to his World Cup appearances.
