Gary Lineker: England Could Benefit from Star Players Returning from Injury
Former footballer and pundit Gary Lineker believes England could pull off a surprise at the 2026 World Cup. Lineker notes that many star players, after enduring injury-hit seasons, will enter the tournament fresh and fully fit.
He argues that this could turn England's perceived status as 'outsiders' into an unexpected advantage. According to Lineker, having key names healthy and rested could help the team embark on an unexpected run.
England's World Cup ambitions are widely seen as reaching at least the quarter-finals.
