Barcelona's promising talent, Anthony Gordon, is reportedly set to make a return to the starting lineup for England's crucial World Cup Round of 16 fixture scheduled for early Monday morning.

The summer acquisition for Spotify Camp Nou is understood to have been chosen over Marcus Rashford for England's upcoming match against host nation Mexico.

The Three Lions are on the cusp of resuming their World Cup campaign. Following their victory over DR Congo in the Round of 32, England is preparing to face Mexico, the 1966 champions' next opponent.

In their comeback win against DR Congo, Anthony Gordon was a standout performer, providing the assists for both of Harry Kane's goals.

As indicated, these impressive contributions are likely to be recognized with a starting spot on Monday morning.

According to a report from well-regarded journalist David Ornstein of The Athletic, the recently acquired Barcelona player will be fielded in place of former Blaugrana star Marcus Rashford in England's starting eleven to face Mexico.
