France provided some of the major surprises ahead of World Cup 2018 as coach Didier Deschamps omitted Premier League stars Antony Martial and Alexandre Lacazette from the squad. However, the cynosure of all eyes will be the lot who did make it. It is widely speculated that the two goal-machines who share ten Ballon d’Ors between them – Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will be playing their last World Cup.
Reigning Germany have opted for a young side and quite astonishingly the man who won them their fourth World Cup, Mario Goetze has been left out by coach Joachim Low. Manchester City winger Leroy Sane being left out came in as an even bigger shock.
There were little surprises among some of the other big teams, five-time champions Brazil, European champions Portugal and perennial underperformers England. Italy and Holland will be sorely missed. Egypt and Liverpool star Mohamad Salah faces a race against time to be fit in time for the event. Here is a look at all the squads:
