"England's dismal display against Japan last night means head coach Thomas Tuchel has much to ponder before he names his World Cup squad in May. The Three Lions were toothless without striker Harry Kane, slipping to a 1-0 defeat with a performance that was even worse than Friday's disappointing display in the 1-1 draw with Uruguay."
"Guehi and Konsa will likely form the central defensive partnership to start the tournament. It has been Guehi plus one for some time but Aston Villa's Konsa has played more minutes under Tuchel than any other defender and will definitely be on the plane."
"Rice and Anderson will, barring injuries, start against Croatia. It is then seemingly a fight between Bellingham and Rogers for that third midfield spot. Rogers is undoubtedly a Tuchel favourite while his relationship with Bellingham has been less straightforward."
"Kane's absence against Uruguay and Japan displayed just how important he is to England's cause. Without the Bayern Munich striker, Tuchel's side looked bereft."
England's recent matches have highlighted significant issues, particularly a 1-0 loss to Japan and a 1-1 draw with Uruguay. Head coach Thomas Tuchel faces challenges in finalizing the World Cup squad. Key players like Jordan Pickford and Dean Henderson are expected in goal, while defenders Marc Guehi and Ezri Konsa are likely to start. Midfielders Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson are set to play, with a competition for the third spot. The absence of striker Harry Kane has notably impacted the team's performance.
