Jordan Henderson etched his name in the record books Saturday when he stepped onto the pitch for England’s 2026 World Cup opener against Panama. The 35‑year‑old midfielder became the first English player to play in four World Cups, and England triumphed 2‑0. He entered the game late after missing the first two group matches. England held Panama at bay. Coach Thomas Tuchel kept Henderson in training as the team prepared for the next games. 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.
