According to reports Thomas Tuchel is understood to value Anthony Gordon’s positional discipline over players such as Marcus Rashford
Anthony Gordon, Jude Bellingham and Noni Madueke are all set to make a start for England’s World Cup opener against Croatia on Wednesday, according to reports.
According to the Daily Mail, England are poised to favour Gordon ahead of Rashford, while Bellingham will start behind Kane. Tuchel appears to believe new Barcelona signing Gordon offers greater positional discipline and intensity than last season’s Barca loanee Rashford.
Rising star Bellingham’s performance in England’s clinical 3-0 win over Costa Rica appears to have earned him a start.
Observers also noted the 22-year-old’s presence when England arrived in Kansas City on Saturday, with the midfielder among the first players off the team plane behind Kane.
