Barcelona forward Anthony Gordon is poised to return to the starting line-up for England’s World Cup Round-of-16 tie in the early hours of Monday.
The decision comes following reports that the recent summer signing at the Spotify Camp Nou has been preferred over Marcus Rashford for the crucial encounter against host nation Mexico.
England, the 1966 World Cup champions, are preparing to resume their campaign after easing past DR Congo in the Round-of-32. Their next test will be a high-stakes contest against Mexico, who have impressed on home soil.
During the victory over DR Congo, Gordon was instrumental for the Three Lions, delivering both assists for Harry Kane’s goals and earning widespread praise for his energetic display.
According to a report by respected journalist David Ornstein of The Athletic, the newly-acquired Barcelona winger will be reinstated in Gareth Southgate’s starting XI, replacing former Barcelona attacker Marcus Rashford for the match against Mexico.
England fans will be eager to see whether Gordon can replicate his influential form as the team looks to progress further in the tournament.
