Morgan Schneiderlin is upset for Southampton teammate Jay Rodriguez over his knee injury.
Schneiderlin believes Rodriguez was assured of a ticket to the World Cup before injury threatened to wreck his dreams of Brazil.
"Listen, my point of view is he had the tickets already in his pocket and an injury was the only thing that could have taken the ticket out of his pocket," he told the Daily Echo.
"It's such a shame. I just hope the scan is going to say something nice, and I hope he's going to be back on the pitch as soon as possible.
"It's something that's very hard to take for any footballer, but especially for Jay."
