Harvey Elliott has picked out Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden as the three stars England must build their team around for the 2026 World Cup.
The Three Lions crashed out of this year's tournament to France in the quarter-finals. But Gareth Southgate 's men can take heart from their performances in Qatar, having pushing reigning champions Les Bleus all the way in their last eight clash on Saturday.
Attention will now turn to the next tournaments, first at Euro 2024 in Germany and then the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada. England are likely to be among the favourites to win both trophies, given their young and upcoming squad.
