FIFA World Cup 2018: 10 players who will likely be playing in their last World Cup

Uruguay v Czech - 2018 China Cup International Football Championship
Diego Godin has featured 116 games for Uruguay

#5 Gonzalo Higuain

Argentina v Venezuela: Quarterfinal - Copa America Centenario
Argentina would want Higuain to score some vital goals

The former Real Madrid player has been performing with consistency for Juventus this season, but have faced the wrath of Argentina fans many times.

However, Higuain has got a unique opportunity to prove them all wrong with a spectacular show in the upcoming World Cup.

Higuain has made 70 appearances for Argentina and has bagged 31 goals to his name. However, Sampaoli has chosen a strong squad for the World Cup and Higuain will certainly have to face tough competitions from the teammates to ensure a place in the starting eleven.

Higuain is one of the best strikers in the world and has lots of things to do for Argentina in this World Cup.

He is a prolific goalscorer and is a real threat during counter-attacks. He has a strong physique and is good at aerial battles.

His presence in vital for Argentina. As Messi doesn't have incredible abilities in the air and is weaker in physique, Argentina will want Higuain to do that work for the nation.

For Higuain, the man who has done so much for Real Madrid and Juventus, it is a "do or die" situation. If he survives, he will be heralded as a hero, else as a villain.
