Thomas Tuchel starts Marcus Rashford in England's World Cup clash against DR Congo

England manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed that Marcus Rashford will start in their World Cup round of 32 match against DR Congo later today in Atlanta. Rashford earned his starting position after impressing with a goal in England's previous game against Panama, contributing to their qualification for this stage of the tournament. Tuchel had initially selected Anthony Gordon over Rashford in earlier matches, which resulted in mixed outcomes. Alongside Rashford, Noni Madueke is set to start, while Declan Rice returns to the lineup. England's previous performance against Ghana ended in a goalless draw, prompting changes for this crucial match.
