England without Harry Kane or Jude Bellingham for World Cup third-place match against France
England manager Thomas Tuchel has decided to leave star players Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham on the bench for the World Cup third-place match against France, scheduled for Saturday at 11 PM in Miami. Both players had been instrumental in England's campaign, each scoring six goals and providing one assist before their semi-final loss to Argentina (1-2). Tuchel will make a large number of changes for this match, notably starting Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, two key players who have not appeared in their best form during the tournament.
