Jordan Henderson made history Saturday when he took the field for England’s 2026 World Cup opener against Panama. The 35‑year‑old midfielder became the trailblazer for the national side to play in four World Cups, and England won 2‑0. He joined the match late after absent from the first two group matches. England held Panama at bay. Coach Thomas Tuchel kept Henderson in training as the team geared up for upcoming fixtures. Henderson’s World Cup career now runs from 2014 to 2026, shattering the previous national record. The victory gave England a two‑point cushion in the group.
