England’s World Cup campaign has a new look. Manager Thomas Tuchel has named Morgan Rogers and Jarell Quansah in the starting lineup for the Group L match against Panama on June 27, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The selections that matter
Rogers is 23 years old and carries just two prior senior England appearances into this start. The Aston Villa midfielder is valued at approximately €90 million, a figure that reflects what clubs see in his ceiling rather than his current body of work at this level.
Quansah’s inclusion is its own story. The Bayer Leverkusen defender received a late call-up to the squad and finds himself starting at right-back. Quansah has operated in this position for England before, so Tuchel is not reinventing the wheel here.
