00:06It hurts to pick up an injury before one of the biggest competitions of your life.
00:11But it's a sad pill for Atletico Madrid's Gianni Cardoso to swallow.
00:15The United States midfielder will undergo surgery on his right ankle before the FIFA World Cup.
00:21The club stated Cardoso sustained the injury during training, resulting in a severe sprain that has affected his joint.
00:27It is the latest setback for Cardoso, whose debut season at Atletico has been hampered by injuries.
00:34He's not the only one fighting injury concerns as their captain Christian Pulisic recently missed matches for AC Milan,
00:41while winger Tim Ware has also been sidelined.
00:43Let's see who's fit enough to take the field for the US when the tournament begins.
00:48If you keep your fitness, it will reward you. Just ask Edin Zeko.
00:52The former Manchester City striker is set to join an exclusive list of players aged 40 or older to play
00:59at a World Cup
01:00after being picked in Bosnia-Herzegovina squad for the tournament.
01:04Cameroon forward Roger Miller is the only outfield player to have played at a World Cup after his 40th birthday.
01:11There have also been six goalkeepers.
01:14Luka Modric, who is 40, and Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, are also expected to feature for Croatia and Portugal respectively.
01:23It therefore seems like Forte is the new 30.
01:26Let's go to a man that has lived a longer life and has hopes of becoming the oldest manager in
01:33World Cup history.
01:34Good news for Curacao as former Sunderland boss Dick Avocat is set to return as head coach.
01:40The 78-year-old stepped down from the role in February this year to care for his daughter who had
01:46been suffering from an illness.
01:47Once he retakes the reins, he will replace Fred Rutten.
01:51Let's see if his return will change their fortunes in time for the World Cup.
01:55Thank you very much.
