England's 2026 squad: Pickford, Kane, Rice, Anderson set; Saka, Bellingham in doubt

England’s 2026 World Cup squad has only half of the 26 spots confirmed. Goalkeeper Pickford remains the undisputed No. 1, while striker Harry Kane is irreplaceable up front. In midfield, Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson look certain to start.

On the right, nobody has emerged as a realistic challenger to Bukayo Saka, and Jude Bellingham’s hopes of grabbing the No. 10 spot were dashed after other contenders failed to impress against Japan and Uruguay.
