Deadspin | Emma Raducanu (leg) withdraws on eve of Wimbledon match  Emma Raducanu gets set to serve to Amanda Anisimova during their third-round match at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., Sunday, March 8, 2026.   Great Britain standout Emma Raducanu withdrew from Wimbledon on Sunday night due to a stress fracture in her lower right leg.  Raducanu, the No. 30 seed, was confident earlier Sunday that she would answer the bell for Monday first-round match against Croatia’s Antonia Ruzic at the All England Club in London.  But hours later, the British No. 1 announced her withdrawal from Wimbledon on social media after a medical scan displayed the injury was more serious than previously thought.  “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but sadly I’ve had to withdraw from this year’s Wimbledon,” Raducanu wrote. “The niggle I’ve been managing has developed into a stress fracture and I’ve been medically advised to stop pushing through.  “Playing at Wimbledon means everything to me, so this is really difficult to process.”  Raducanu, 23, was spotted wearing a boot on the leg on Wednesday. She tested the leg in a training session Saturday but had to cut short a practice session with Anna Kalinskaya of Russia when she was having trouble moving and lost four straight games.   It has been a challenging season for Raducanu. She has played in just 10 events due to a foot injury and an illness. She was out for more than two months at one point before returning in mid-May.  Raducanu said the leg pain increased during her run to the Queen’s Club title match earlier this mnoth. She lost to Croatia’s Donna Vekic in the final.  “Queen’s, during that week, was a lot of load for me,” Raducanu said earlier at her Sunday press conference. “Five matches after having not competed for a while. But I’m just managing it with my team as best as I possibly can, exhausting all options and doing what we can.”  Raducanu famously emerged in 2021 to win the U.S. Open at age 18 and that remains her lone WTA title. Her best Wimbledon showing is reaching the fourth round in both 2021 and 2024.  Wimbledon didn’t announce a replacement for Raducanu on Sunday night. Typically, a lucky loser is selected out of qualifying.  –Field Level Media    #Deadspin #Emma #Raducanu #leg #withdraws #eve #Wimbledon #match

Here are the players at the top of the Golden Boot standings. Note that we have included just the players with four goals or more. For the full list of scorers at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, you can check FIFA’s official list:

What are the Golden Boot scenarios?

Two players on this list could, theoretically, catch Mbappé.

First is Spanish forward Mikel Oyarzabal, who has enjoyed a tremendous run of form for Spain at the 2026 World Cup. With five goals and an assist, however, he would need to score six goals in the Final to take the outright lead away from Mbappé. If he matched Mbappé’s totals of ten goals and four assists — meaning he scored five goals and added three assists in the World Cup Final — he would have to do so in less total minutes than the 769 Mbappé played at the 2026 World Cup.

But the player with a better chance of catching Mbappé is Messi, but it would still take something special for Messi to catch the French superstar. If he matched Mbappé’s total of ten goals with a brace against Spain — remember he scored two goals in the 2022 World Cup Final against France — he would need to add an assist to beat Mbappé. If he somehow scored a hat trick against Spain, that would move him to the top.

Or, if Messi finishes level with Mbappé on both goals and assists, he would have to do so in just 57 minutes or less, then he would win on the final tiebreaker.

When it comes to the Golden Boot, assists are the first tiebreaker. If two players remain tied on both goals and assists, the player that played the fewest minutes would win the Golden Boot.

If, however, Mbappé holds on and wins the Golden Boot, he would become the first player in the history of the FIFA World Cup to win the Golden Boot twice.
