Thomas Tuchel's England World Cup squad is starting to take shape, but several key positions remain uncertain. The 2-0 win over Serbia was a good indication of how Tuchel's team will play at the World Cup, with Morgan Rogers continuing in the No 10 role despite Jude Bellingham's return to the squad.
Tuchel has stuck with Rogers, who performed well against Serbia, and Bellingham was deployed on the right wing, where he looked sharp. However, there is still a question over whether Phil Foden can displace Harry Kane as England's No 9. Tuchel hinted that Foden could be Kane's "accomplice", potentially replacing him if Kane tires or if something different is needed to open up a defence.
The left-wing spot is also up for grabs, with Anthony Gordon and Marcus Rashford battling it out for the starting role. Jack Grealish or other left-wingers may struggle to break into the team behind these two.
Behind them, left-back feels like a more open contest, with Nico O'Reilly impressing in his debut game against Serbia. Djed Spence, Reece James and others are also options, although Tuchel has yet to confirm his team selection for Albania on Sunday.
One area where Tuchel seems fairly certain is the defensive midfield position, with Elliot Anderson emerging as a key player. The Nottingham Forest midfielder has impressed in recent internationals and may even be given more game time by Tuchel.
Ultimately, it's clear that Tuchel has his eye on these players, but there are still some big decisions to make ahead of the World Cup. Whether he sticks with Rogers at No 10 or Foden as a false nine remains to be seen, while Gordon and Rashford will hope to secure their starting spots in midfield and attack respectively.

what if Foden cant handle the pressure? or Kane just decides to keep playing at his best? we need to think about what's best for England not just who's playing well atm 
they've got some amazing players and tuchel's got his work cut out trying to decide who starts where 
but seriously, elliot anderson is looking like a solid defensive midfielder option he's been impressing in recent internationals 
gotta see how phil foden fits into the team with harry kane though, could be an interesting dynamic 
England needs to sort out that left-wing spot ASAP! Anthony Gordon and Marcus Rashford need to step up their game, can't have them fightin' for a place all tournament 
. And what about Foden vs Kane? Tuchel's hint about him bein' Kane's "accomplice" is intriguing 
I'm literally so hyped about the England squad! Tuchel's choices are making me super excited for the World Cup 
. And can we talk about how awesome Morgan Rogers is doing at No 10? 
And what's up with the left-wing spot? I've always been a fan of Marcus Rashford, he's such an incredible player 
And I'm curious to see how Anderson will perform in more games 
️, but it's also a high-risk move if Kane starts struggling.
. Both players have shown their skills, but only one can secure that starting spot. And let's not forget about Nico O'Reilly at left-back, he looked solid in his debut match 
I'm so hyped for the World Cup 
Morgan Rogers holding down the No 10 spot is a solid move, but Phil Foden vs Harry Kane as strikers? 
That's gotta be an interesting dynamic to watch. And what about Anthony Gordon and Marcus Rashford for that left-wing spot? 
Djed Spence and Reece James also looking like solid options for the back four... Elliot Anderson emerging as a key player in midfield is exactly what England needs right now 
But what if Kane doesn't perform well in the World Cup? Do we want our best player struggling with fatigue? 
I think it's time for Tuchel to make a clear decision on this one... 
but its still all about who's gonna play where 
it could be interesting to see how that plays out 
gordon or rashford gotta step up 
he's been impressing lately 
. Not sure about Foden playing with Kane, it could work tho 
. Anderson looks decent in DM tho 
. I mean Tuchel's got some decent players, but he really needs to sort out that No 10 spot - Morgan Rogers can't keep his job just because he's a novelty, you know? 
And what's up with Phil Foden vs Harry Kane for the striker role? Can we just have one clear plan already? 
They've both been performin well lately, but Kane's experience cant be ignored. On th other hand, Foden's creativity in midfield cud bring a new level of play 2 England's offense 
and i think that's kinda cool, you know? it means we get to see these players really prove themselves ahead of the world cup. but at the same time, there's this sense of uncertainty, like what's gonna happen if kane tires out or foden can't quite fit in as a false nine 
? Can't wait to see how it all comes together
