"The most obvious big call there is Morgan Rogers instead of Jude Bellingham and come the summer it may very well be the Real Madrid man in the team instead."
"Despite his injury problems, John Stones had started England's last four internationals and if he is fit Stones will be in the team."
"There needs to be an asterisk with both Reece James and John Stones regarding their fitness. I admire Stones so much as a person that I hope he gets enough football and game time to trust his body with the various injury problems he has had to contend with."
"The fight to play in the number 10 position between Morgan Rogers and Jude Bellingham is going to be fascinating."
England will begin their World Cup campaign against Croatia on June 17. Thomas Tuchel will finalize his squad after the friendly against Japan. Key players include Morgan Rogers, who may start over Jude Bellingham, and John Stones, whose fitness is uncertain. Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon are likely to be first-choice wingers, while Reece James and Nico O'Reilly are in contention for full-back positions. The competition for the number 10 role between Rogers and Bellingham is particularly noteworthy as the tournament approaches.
