Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke have all been called up by England for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The quartet of stars have been selected in Thomas Tuchel’s 26-man squad for this summer’s tournament, taking place in Canada, Mexico and the USA.<\/p>\n

England will take on Ghana, Croatia and Panama in their group, with matches taking place in Texas, Boston and New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Midfielder Rice was a key cog in England’s qualifying campaign, starting seven of the eight matches. Our number 41 also found the net in our 2-0 victory over Andorra at Villa Park.<\/p>\n

There were plenty of Gunners in the goals during the qualifiers. Only Harry Kane scored more times than Eberechi Eze for the Three Lions. <\/p>\n

Our number 10 found the net in 3-0 and 5-0 wins over Latvia, as well as the 2-0 victory over Serbia at Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n

It was a memorable campaign for Noni Madueke, who netted his first England goal just two months after joining us from Chelsea in 2025. It will be Noni’s first major tournament with England.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Bukayo Saka will be heading to his fourth major tournament with the Three Lions. Our Hale End graduate netted a fine strike in the victory over Serbia, taking his overall tally for England to 14 ahead of the finals.<\/p>\n

England will take on New Zealand and Costa Rica in two warm-up fixtures before facing Croatia on June 17 in their World Cup opener!<\/p>\n
