Four Everton players selected for the 2026 World Cup
Summary

The 2026 World Cup, beginning June 11 with Mexico vs. South Africa, includes four Everton players: Jordan Pickford, Nathan Patterson, Iliman Ndiaye, and Idrissa Gueye. Pickford, a key player for England, is expected to feature prominently despite an inconsistent club season. Patterson's limited appearances this season lead to uncertainty about his future at Everton. Ndiaye's contract situation remains unresolved, while Gueye is battling a hamstring injury and is out of contract this month. Everton's representation in the tournament reflects a challenging period for the club, which had few players making the national squads.
