Picking a team for the future is a fool’s errand, writes danielstorey85, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try 🔎 How England could line up at 2026 World Cup, via iPaperSport

There’s every chance that left-back is one of the positions where a relative veteran could be retained: Ben Chilwell will be 29 and Luke Shaw almost 32 – Chilwell is clearly an option. But at 23, Mitchell’s breakout transfer move from Crystal Palace is coming soon and he could well be an attacking, overlapping option on the left to mirror the right flank, thus allowing the left-sided forward to drift centrally and deep.

If England have a problem position, it is a combative, tiger-like midfielder who can roam forward and back to fight fires, creating danger when he wins the ball in the opponent’s half but with the energy to do the same on the edge of our own box. Gallagher isn’t quite it, but at 22 he’s probably the closest England have until someone younger comes along.
