Jordan Henderson secured a historic milestone Saturday when he took the field for England’s 2026 World Cup opener against Panama. The 35‑year‑old midfielder became the pioneer for England to play in four World Cups, and England triumphed 2‑0. He entered the game late after missing the first two group matches. England stifled Panama’s attack. Coach Thomas Tuchel kept him in practice as the team prepared for the next games. Henderson’s World Cup career now runs from 2014 to 2026, setting a new benchmark for England. The victory gave England a two‑point cushion in the group.
