Jude Bellingham, Marc Guehi, England, Thomas Tuchel
12 June 2026
Jude Bellingham is expected to start in England’s World Cup opener against Croatia, with Morgan Rogers likely to begin on the bench. Marc Guehi may also miss out, as Thomas Tuchel leans toward John Stones and Ezri Konsa at centre-back.
Tuchel’s final warm-up selection against Costa Rica offered clues, with Noni Madueke also pushing to start if Bukayo Saka is eased in. The possible Guehi omission would be a surprise after his importance at Euro 2024 and Manchester City.
