Rashford Starts for England; Anderson Set for Man City Move

Marcus Rashford has been named in England's starting lineup for their 2026 FIFA World Cup Group L finale against Panama, marking his first start of the tournament. The forward's inclusion comes as England look to secure top spot in the group.

Anderson Overcomes Injury Doubt

Elliot Anderson, the 23-year-old Nottingham Forest midfielder, retains his place in the starting XI despite concerns over glute muscle tightness. Anderson was a doubt for the match after experiencing muscle soreness, but he has been cleared to play.

Medical Scheduled for Manchester City Transfer

Following the match, Anderson is expected to finalize his £116 million ($153 million) move to Manchester City. The midfielder will undergo a medical once the England squad returns to Kansas City, where they are based for the tournament. The transfer, reported by The Athletic, will see Anderson become one of the most expensive British players in history.

Anderson's performances at the World Cup have attracted significant interest, with Manchester City moving quickly to secure his signature. The 23-year-old has been a key figure for England in the tournament, and his retention in the lineup despite injury concerns underscores his importance to the team.

England's match against Panama is crucial for their progression, and the inclusion of Rashford and Anderson provides a significant boost to their attacking options.
