Harry Kane leads England into World Cup amid high expectations

England's national team, seeking to end a 60-year World Cup drought, has named its final roster for the 2026 tournament. Head coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed the squad on May 22, two days before the Premier League's conclusion. Despite a perfect record during qualification, uncertainty remains over player fitness, particularly with injuries to Ben White and Tino Livramento affecting the defensive lineup. Key players like Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham are included, but notable absences such as Trent Alexander-Arnold raise questions about the squad's depth. England's first match is against Croatia, with preparations underway as they aim for success in the tournament.
