England have learned their FIFA World Cup group stage opponents after the draw took place in the Qatari capital Doha on Friday.
Having come so close to winning last summer’s EURO 2020 tournament on home soil, the Three Lions are among the favourites to take the trophy home in Qatar, alongside the likes of Brazil, Belgium, Germany, and reigning champions France.
Gareth Southgate will be relying on squad stalwarts including Harry Kane, Jordan Henderson and Raheem Sterling to navigate the team through the first round as comfortably as possible, with younger players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Declan Rice and Phil Foden looking to make an impact at the biggest tournament in world football for the first time in their careers.
