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

England’s 2026 World Cup squad is taking shape with goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, striker Harry Kane, midfielders Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson firmly in the lineup. The core group appears set, with no major changes expected for the first half of the squad.

However, right‑winger Bukayo Saka and midfielder Jude Bellingham face uncertainty. Their chances were dented by lackluster displays against Uruguay and Japan, leaving their roles in the squad still undecided.
