England's World Cup squad numbers have been leaked, giving a pretty good indication to what lineup Thomas Tuchel will name against Croatia.
The Three Lions begin their World Cup journey on Wednesday, 17 June at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, when they take on Croatia at 9pm UK time.
Tuchel's side will then take on Ghana on Tuesday, 22 June, at the same time, before lastly facing Panama at 10pm on Saturday, June 26.
The Three Lions boss named his squad just under a fortnight ago, causing mass controversy with the omissions of the likes of Cole Palmer and Harry Maguire.
Now though, the shirt numbers of the players going to the tournament in North America have been leaked.
John Stones, despite minimal game time at Man City as of late, will be the No.5 at the tournament, with Marc Guehi partnering him with the No.6.
Young prodigy Nico O'Reilly has been given the No.3 shirt, showing that he may be the starting left-back.
England No.8 is the technical Elliot Anderson, indicating he may partner the No.4 Declan Rice in the centre of the park.
Reece James has taken his favoured No.24 shirt, with Marcus Rashford claiming the well-renowned No.11, perhaps indicating that he is the starting left winger.
Konsa has been awarded the No.2 shirt, with the Galactico Jude Bellingham given the No.10.
