England have confirmed their World Cup squad numbers as Thomas Tuchel's side prepares for Group L action. Captain Harry Kane retains the No 9 shirt for a third straight tournament while Jude Bellingham claims the iconic No 10. Marcus Rashford takes No 11 despite uncertainty over his club future, suggesting Tuchel views him as a left-wing starter.

Nine newcomers feature in the 26-man squad, with teenager Nico O'Reilly handed No 3 and Elliot Anderson No 8 - both hinting at potential starts. Arsenal's Bukayo Saka dons No 7 with Declan Rice wearing No 4, while Newcastle pair Tino Livramento and Dan Burn receive Nos 12 and 15.

England face Croatia in Dallas on June 17 before matches against Ghana in Boston and Panama in New York-New Jersey. The squad blend of experienced heads and emerging talent reflects Tuchel's rebuilding project ahead of the expanded 48-team format.

With nine debutants and established stars sharing the iconic shirt numbers, Tuchel has signaled his intent to balance youth development with immediate tournament expectations.
