Haiti's national team will be without midfielder Pierre due to an adductor injury. The player has been ruled out of the World Cup.
The loss of a midfielder weakens Haiti's midfield control and defensive organization. The team will need to find a replacement or reorganize its central line.
For betting markets: the absence of a midfield player may increase goal totals in Haiti's matches, particularly in the opening group game, as the team becomes more vulnerable during transitions and less organized defensively.
