Jordan Henderson made history Saturday when he stepped onto the pitch for England’s 2026 World Cup tournament opener against Panama. The 35‑year‑old midfielder became the first English player to play in four World Cups, and England won 2‑0. He came on late after absent from the first two group matches. England held Panama at bay. Coach Thomas Tuchel kept him in practice 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 put England two points clear in the group.
