Barcelona's Anthony Gordon is anticipated to make a comeback to the starting lineup for England's international duties early Monday morning. This decision comes as the recent acquisition for Spotify Camp Nou has reportedly been chosen over Marcus Rashford for England's crucial match against Mexico.

The Three Lions are on the cusp of restarting their World Cup campaign. Following their victory over DR Congo in the Round of 32, they now face a challenge against host nation Mexico, the champions of 1966.

During England's comeback win against DR Congo, Anthony Gordon played a pivotal role, providing assists for both of Harry Kane's goals. These impressive performances are now expected to be recognized with a place in the starting XI on Monday morning.

According to a report from reputable journalist David Ornstein of The Athletic, the recently signed Barcelona player will be stepping in for former Blaugrana star Marcus Rashford in England's team to face Mexico.
