England manager Thomas Tuchel is contemplating his starting lineup for Sunday's World Cup group game against Panama. Decisions loom over who will feature in the crucial match, following a 0-0 draw with Ghana in their second group fixture.
For the match against Ghana, Tuchel made two alterations to the squad, bringing in Djed Spence and Marc Guehi to replace Nico O'Reilly and John Stones. Now, as England prepares for Panama, speculation is mounting about further changes. "I think Tuchel will change it up," former England forward Alan Shearer told BBC Sport.
Shearer suggested that Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford have demonstrated sufficient impact in their recent appearances to warrant a starting opportunity. "Bukayo Saka and Rashford have definitely done enough when they have come on in both games to get a chance to start," Shearer noted. He also anticipates a potential change at left-back, with O'Reilly possibly returning to the lineup in place of Spence.
The article prompts fans to consider these selection dilemmas and to pick their own preferred England starting XI for the upcoming match against Panama, inviting them to step into the manager's role.
