Chelsea have 12 players heading to Qatar for the World Cup, but the Blues have 11 more players who could've played in this year's Mundial under different circumstances.
Here are 12 Chelsea players who will miss the showpiece in Qatar with the reason named:
Injury. Ben Chilwell, Reece James, N'Golo Kante, Wesley Fofana and Kepa Arizabalaga. The first three names would surely have been invited if they had stayed fit.
Not invited. Marc Cucurella, Trevor Chalobah, Ruben Loftus, Carney Chuwuemeka
Didn't qualify. Armando Broja and Jorginho who missed a crucial penalty that would've helped Italy to qualify.
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang will not go to Qatar because he's already retired from international football plus his Gabon team didn't even qualify.
