Club World Cup 2025: 5 football superstars who will miss the tournament in USA
The expanded FIFA Club World Cup in the US boasts a $1 billion prize, but several star players will be absent. Mohamed Salah misses out due to Liverpool's qualification failure, while Barcelona's Lamine Yamal won't participate either. Cristiano Ronaldo is staying with Al Nassr, and Neymar is focusing on his fitness at Santos. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads FIFA's inaugural expanded Club World Cup in the United States has $1 billion of prize money on the line but will be missing some of the game's star names. Here are five players who will not be lighting up stadiums across the US once it gets underway this weekend:Liverpool finished as English champions, but like Spain's Barcelona and Italy's Napoli, will not be at the Club World Cup, because of the convoluted qualification process. That means Egyptian winger Salah, who broke the Premier League record for goal involvements, with 29 strikes and 18 assists, misses out. After a tiring season in which he faded in the latter months Salah might not be too upset about having a summer off. The winger posted a photo of himself sunbathing by the beach on Instagram. However it will be a shame that African football icon Salah, captain Virgil van Dijk and others miss out on the chance of a potential rematch against their Champions League conquerors player in world football this season has offered more excitement than Barcelona's 17-year-old star Lamine Yamal. The Spain winger has been in sensational form this season and is one of the candidates to win the Ballon d'Or. Yamal's thrilling dribbling and penchant for the spectacular make him one of the biggest draws in world football at the moment. He is often compared to former Barcelona great Lionel Messi, but because of the Spanish champions' absence, may have missed out on his only chance to face the Argentina star, who will be there with Inter will also not go up against his long-time rival Ronaldo. The Portuguese striker, 40, was reported to be looking for a way to play in the tournament. FIFA presid e n t G i a n n i Infantino had s u g g e s t e d Ronaldo might m o ve f r o m Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr to a team who had reached the event, saying that 'discussions' were being held over it. Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo, who won the Nations League with Portugal last weekend, indicated after the game, however, he was set to stay at Al icon Neymar struggled with injury at Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia and returned to Santos in January 2025, hoping to get fit and firing ahead of next summer's World Cup. The 33-year-old forward, despite fading with age, is still one of the biggest names in the game and his absence is also a blow in a commercial sense. With organisers struggling to sell tickets, Neymar's presence would have been a League semi-finalists Arsenal are another team to miss out and after finishing the season trophyless, the Club World Cup would've been a chance to win some silverware. England international Saka's only club trophy, excluding the FA Community Shield, was an FA Cup win with Arsenal in 2020. For a player of his quality, who has spent six seasons playing regularly at the top level, Saka could do with expanding his medal collection. Arsenal will be disappointed to miss out on the prize money too, as they try to overhaul Liverpool and Manchester City, who have dominated the English game in recent seasons.

Staring at the brutal honesty of AI 171 selfies
Agencies The much-derided selfie - the self-photograph - is the signature of our times. The derision is, of course, self-righteous, a flimsy insurance against charges of vanity, self-obsession, and banality. And yet, it is, arguably, the most potent marker of individualism in human history. Not only is the subject of the portrait oneself, but so is the portrait-taker, a closed circle that was once only available to artists creating self-portraits, and people with cameras in front of mirrors. But within the now-perfectly acceptable (but ritualistically frowned-upon) act of selfie-aggrandisement, there is a sub-genre: of taking selfies before a journey. Among the many heart-sinking reports on those who perished on Thursday's cursed Air India AI 171, the most tragic 'stories' are the selfies taken by passengers before the flight took off. These pictures have entered the public domain of collective grief only because they had been sent off to loved ones who were at the place from where the selfie-taker was departing (Ahmedabad, or other places in India), or to the flight's never-reached destination (London, or other places in Britain). These are pure, non-intervened, non-media(ted) photos, most of them brimming with excited anticipation, of looking forward to the latest leg in yet page of the calendar. There's one selfie that a woman is taking - and a selfie forever-freezes the act of taking the photograph - where she seems extremely chuffed, smiling under her face-mask, to 'catch' a VIP, former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani, who's a row behind her in business class fiddling with his phone before take-off. Rupani is, as with most subjects 'caught' (deliberately, or as collateral) in the background of someone else's selfie, unaware of the lady taking a snap. In the same image, another man, sitting at the back with his face mask pulled down to speak on the phone, seems to be aware of the sly potshot being taken. The frame holds that furtive moment, a childish glee of an adult - 'Look who's on the plane with me!' - which is utterly impervious to what we know will follow, soon. The selfie, by being ridiculously honest, with no sense of propriety for future tragedy, becomes a rectangular memorial of life - of three lives - for us to simply stare at, as if there are clues of what is to come embedded in it. There is another selfie 'doing the rounds' - the idiom perfectly capturing the powerful banality of shared sorrow - this time of a family posing and looking into the cam held by an invisible outstretched arm. By now, many of us know the context of this photo of a young couple scrunching themselves to be inside the frame, with their three young children smiling from across the aisle. Dr Pratik Joshi and his wife Dr Komi Vyas can barely contain their excitement of restarting life in London. Along with the palpable excitement of the five, the ordinariness of the setting is breathtaking. The screen in front of the adults bear the message in Hindi and English: 'Viman pe apka swagat hain' and 'Welcome Onboard'. The unshaved stubble on Pratik's face. The sharp incisive incisors-flashing smile on Komi's face. And the children - the eldest girl smiling to show how mature she is compared to her two bashful twin brothers. This selfie, of a young family screaming, 'WE'RE OFF!', must have been sent to the couple's parents and friends, Even the open tray in front of one of the boys seems to be caught in this personal zeitgeist. There are other selfies from passengers and crew of AI 171. Each one tells a story with much more brutal detail than any news story, or image of the wreck can ever communicate. Ironically, selfies memorialise us - even with pouted lips, tongue out, flashing V sign and finally selecting 'the right pose' - with the least artifice. And these 'AI 171 selfies', of individuals with zero hindsight, tell us, individuals with the luxury of still living, what Shelley made Ozymandias say, 'Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!/ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay/ Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare/ The lone and level sands stretch far away.' Elevate your knowledge and leadership skills at a cost cheaper than your daily tea.
