World Cup news: Best XI of players who won’t be in Russia

Arturo Vidal – Chile

The second Chilean on this list is Arturo Vidal. After suffering a cagey start to his domestic campaign with Bayern Munich, the Chilean midfielder will feel even more hard-done-by to not be travelling to Russia this summer.

Everything was going so well for his country, winning back-to-back Copa America titles and reaching the final of the Confederations cup, only to fall short to Germany.

All good things must come to an end, but with Arturo Vidal being a prominent figure in the Chilean side, this will surely knock his confidence. When you think about the players who won’t be in the World Cup, Arturo Vidal will definitely be one of the first players to spring to mind.
