2026 World Cup: Switzerland eye another deep run

Switzerland will head to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States targeting another deep run after years of consistency on the biggest stage. The Nati have quietly built a reputation as one of Europe’s most organised and reliable tournament sides and now want to move from respected outsiders to genuine contenders. The 2026 finals will be Switzerland’s 13th appearance at a World Cup and their sixth in a row since 2006. Historically, they reached the quarter finals in 1934, 1938 and 1954 and, in the modern era, they have advanced from the group stage in five of their last six World Cup campaigns. Granit Xhaka, fresh from a title winning season and enjoying some of the best form of his career, is expected to captain the side and set the tempo in midfield. Around him, […]

Liverpool’s Ekitike set to miss World Cup after injury blow

Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike is set to miss the 2026 World Cup and the remainder of the season after suffering a severe Achilles tendon rupture during Tuesday’s Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The 23-year-old French forward sustained the injury midway through the first half at Anfield when he planted his right foot to accelerate and immediately crumpled to the turf, clutching his lower leg. Reports indicate an expected recovery period of around nine months, ruling him out of France’s World Cup campaign and a significant part of next season. Ekitike, a £69 million summer signing, had to be stretchered off as visibly concerned teammates gathered around him.

Kudus World Cup hopes in doubt after new injury blow

Ghana star Mohammed Kudus is facing a battle to be fit for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after suffering a fresh setback in his recovery from injury. The 25 year old forward, who joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2025, has reportedly suffered a relapse of the quad and hamstring problem that has kept him out since January. Reports say the latest setback may require surgery, which could rule him out for the rest of the season and put his World Cup participation at serious risk. Kudus had become a key player for both Spurs and the Black Stars, playing an important role in Tottenham’s attack and helping Ghana qualify for the tournament. His absence is a major concern for Ghana, with medical assessments suggesting he could be sidelined for up to three months if an operation is needed. That timeline clashes […]
