Romero (knee) is completing his rehabilitation from an MCL sprain with the Argentinian squad and is expected to be an option at some point during the World Cup, according to TyC Sports.

Kulusevski has had his absence further explained after a season on the sidelines and missing the Swedish World Cup roster, according to Swedish team doctor Jonas Werner, per Alasdair Gold of Football.London. "It's been a long story with Dejan. He's done everything he can to get ready, but when it came to deciding [if he would make the squad], he wasn't. The reason is that he hasn't played football in a year, but even the medical assessments made this spring have pointed in the direction that he wouldn't be ready. Cartilage injuries, like in Dejan's case, are troublesome. They are difficult to treat. Plus, he has it in a place that gets a lot of stress. The injury simply hasn't healed enough to handle that stress. I have high hopes that [he can play football again]."

Kudus (quadriceps) wasn't been included in Ghana's World Cup squad and will now focus on a full recovery ahead of the 2026/27 season, the Ghana FA announced.
