How England could line up at Euro 2028 with new-look defence and Bellingham brothers bossing midfield
ENGLAND’S starting XI for Euro 2028 may look quite a bit different from now.
The UK and Ireland announced their joint list of stadiums for the international tournament earlier today.
But a number of the stars we saw at the last World Cup may be long gone by the time the 2028 tournament rolls around.
And should England win the hosting rights over main rivals Turkey, the likes of Bukayo Saka are expected to be leading the Three Lions as football comes home.
SunSport have taken a look at how we may line up then.
Aaron Ramsdale may finally be handed be the country’s number one shot stopper spot as he enters the summer tournament at the age of 29.
A Chelsea inspired backline may form the spine of the team, with Reece James, Levi Colwill and Ben Chilwell joined by Manchester City‘s Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
Further forward, current West Ham skipper Declan Rice, who will be in his prime aged 29, may anchor the midfield.
Ahead of him England may see brotherly bonds come to fruition as Jude Bellingham is partnered with younger brother Jobe.
In attack skipper Harry Kane could still be the country’s chief goalscorer – adding more and more to his already record amount.

He may be supported by Saka and Marcus Rashford, both of whom are earmarked to be their club’s talisman for the foreseeable future.
However, with Kane set to be aged 34 by the time the Euros roll around, there is a chance he could have already retired from international football.
In this case, Rashford may be the man in the middle for England, while Phil Foden plays as a winger.
There are numerous other stars who could have forced their way into the set up by this time, including Jadon Sancho, Harvery Elliot, Folarin Balogun and Harvey Vale.
