We take a look at the oldest players selected by Thomas Tuchel in England's 2026 World Cup squad.
The Three Lions squad boasts a wealth of experience this time round, with 36-year-old Jordan Henderson the oldest player in the 26-man fold.
The Brentford midfielder -- who famously captained Liverpool to the Premier League and UEFA Champions League during his 12-year spell with the club -- had his tournament cut short when breaking his arms in the celebrations following England's 3-2 win over Mexico, despite not featuring in the game.
34-year-old Dan Burn is amongst the most experienced in the Three Lions camp, and this showed when he helped the side see out a one-goal lead against Mexico in just his first appearance at the World Cup, heading everything in his sight.
32-year-old Harry Kane is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down, scoring a remarkable 61 goals in 51 games for Bayern Munich in the 2025/26 campaign.
His goalscroing prowess hasn't faded on the international stage either, converting from the spot at the Azteca to add his sixth goal in the tournament -- only fewer than Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.
