Summary
Jarell Quansah and Bukayo Saka are tipped to start against Mexico after England’s uneven 2-1 win over DR Congo left Thomas Tuchel weighing changes in defense and wide areas.
Quansah has returned to training and is fully available, while Reece James may only make the bench, pushing England toward a back line built to handle 90 minutes at altitude in Mexico City.
Saka and Anthony Gordon strengthened their case by changing the DR Congo game off the bench, with Gordon creating both Harry Kane goals after Noni Madueke and Marcus Rashford failed to impress.
The projected 4-2-3-1 keeps Kane up front and Jude Bellingham behind him, with Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson in midfield as England seek a sharper display at Estadio Azteca.
