England currently holds the lead in Group L with four points. As the team prepares for their upcoming fixture against Panama, speculation grows regarding whether Marcus Rashford should be in the starting lineup, if Nico O’Reilly and John Stones should return, or if Declan Rice requires a rest.
During the previous match, a scoreless draw against Ghana, the England head coach implemented two adjustments by swapping O’Reilly and Stones for Djed Spence and Marc Guehi. Looking ahead to Sunday, former striker Alan Shearer anticipates further tactical shifts from manager Thomas Tuchel.
Shearer noted that Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford have demonstrated sufficient quality during their appearances off the bench to warrant starting positions. Additionally, he suggested that Nico O’Reilly may reclaim the left-back spot from Djed Spence.
