Jordan Henderson secured a historic milestone Saturday when he walked onto the field for England’s 2026 World Cup season‑opening match against Panama. The 35‑year‑old midfielder became the first English player to play in four World Cups, and England secured a victory 2‑0. He entered the game late after missing the first two group matches. England held Panama at bay. Coach Thomas Tuchel kept him on the training pitch as the team readied the squad for future matches. Henderson’s World Cup career now runs from 2014 to 2026, breaking the old England record. The victory left England two points ahead in the group.
