How many Premier League players are left at World Cup?

With the World Cup having now reached the quarter-final stage, how many Premier League players are currently still representing their respective nations in Qatar?

When Premier League managers watched many of their star players depart for the World Cup in the middle of November, they would have had mixed emotions.

On one hand, there would have been a sense of pride in seeing them represent their respective nations, yet on the other, concern would have been setting in regarding their condition upon their return.

Mikel Arteta has already experienced that with Gabriel Jesus suffering a knee injury which has already ruled the Brazil forward out of the remainder of the tournament, and there is a scenario where a large chunk of Premier League players may require a rest after their participation reaches a conclusion.

For the players who have just bowed out at the last-16 stage, they now have some recuperation time before the Christmas and New Year period, something which will no doubt please their club bosses.

However, despite just eight teams still being involved in Qatar, as many as 61 players from England's top flight are still present in the Middle East.

Below, Sports Mole outlines which teams are still missing some high-profile players, and the clubs which are in line to enjoy a less-disrupted preparation period ahead of the EFL Cup ties between December 20 and 22, and the restart of the Premier League on Boxing Day.
