The 2026 World Cup is just around the corner and several Real Madrid players are pushing to recover from their injuries to be in the United States, Mexico and Canada. However, there are other footballers who definitely won't be at the event, as they need more time to recover. In addition to absences due to injury, there are the tactical decisions of some national team coaches. For example, it's almost certain that Luis de la Fuente, the Spanish coach, won't call up Gonzalo Garcia, Alvaro Carreras, and Raul Asensio. Real Madrid players who will be at the 2026 World Cup: Although some of them are absent for the last La Liga matches, and with Real Madrid out of contention for the title, these players will be at the World Cup. Country by country: Those who will miss the World Cup due to injury or tactical decision: Dani Carvajal's chances of playing at right-back for Spain are almost impossible, due to injuries during the season and a lack of match fitness. Pedro Porro and Marcos Llorente have the best chances of being called up for the final squad. Carreras and Fran Garcia are far behind Marc Cucurella and Grimaldo himself, while Gonzalo Garcia and Raul Asencio have several teammates who are better than them, including their teammate Dean Huijsen. Finally, the young Thiago Pitarch and Dani Ceballos have zero chance of being called up, compared man for man in their position. In the case of Ferland Mendy, it is practically certain that Didier Deschamps will use the Hernandez brothers, Theo and Lucas, for the left-back position in France. Finally, Franco Mastantuono could be a notable exception. Although his season at Real Madrid started strong but declined, to the point of being relegated to the bench, Lionel Scaloni could surprise everyone with his squad selection, considering he's in good physical shape. Andriy Lunin will not be going to the 2026 World Cup because the Ukrainian national team has not qualified.
