Infantino isolated as top Fifa officials condemn World Cup plan

Fifa president Gianni Infantino faced mounting isolation as his deputy, secretary general Mattias Grafström, called the failed World Cup private investment plan a 'sad and reproachable series of events'. Arsène Wenger, Fifa's chief of global development, said he knew nothing about the project and backed its withdrawal as 'absolutely necessary'. Several European federations have pulled support for Infantino's re-election, deepening the turmoil within world football's governing body.
