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

Published April 1, 2026 · Updated April 1, 2026 · The Guardian

England’s 2026 World Cup squad still uncertain, with Pickford and Kane firm, Rice and Anderson likely midfield starters, while Saka and Bellingham face competition and doubts.

Only half of the 26 squad spots are confirmed, with Jordan Pickford and Harry Kane already locked in. Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson are set to start in midfield, while no player has yet challenged Bukayo Saka on the right.

Jude Bellingham’s bid for the No.10 role faltered after other contenders failed to impress in the Japan and Uruguay matches, leaving his place uncertain.
