Key Players

• Jude Bellingham: Real Madrid's complete midfield superstar. Goals, assists, leadership and big-game performances that transcend his age. Arguably the world's best all-round midfielder and England's most important player.
• Harry Kane: England's all-time leading scorer. Clinical, intelligent and reliable at the highest level — consistently scoring in the Bundesliga at Bayern Munich. The tournament's most complete number 9.
• Phil Foden: Manchester City's most technically gifted English player. Elegant, creative and capable of producing moments of individual brilliance that change a game.
• Bukayo Saka: Versatile, direct right winger at Arsenal. One of the most consistent performers in European football — always dangerous, always hard-working and an excellent ball-carrier.
• Declan Rice: Powerful, complete and modern defensive midfielder at Arsenal. The engine of England's midfield, able to win the ball, drive forward and protect the defence simultaneously.
