England's 2026 World Cup squad: Pickford, Kane, Rice, Anderson secure spots

England’s 2026 World Cup squad is largely set. Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford remains the undisputed No. 1, while striker Harry Kane is irreplaceable up front. Midfielders Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson look certain to start, and no one has emerged as a realistic challenger to Bukayo Saka on the right.

Jude Bellingham’s hopes of grabbing the No. 10 spot were dashed after other challengers failed to impress against Japan and Uruguay, leaving him in a more uncertain position.
