First-team

22 May 2026

Crystal Palace captain Dean Henderson has been named in England's final squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup – with two further call-ups also confirmed.

Henderson has four caps to date and will go to a World Cup finals for the first time in his career.

He was part of the squads that finished runner-up at both Euro 2020 and Euro 2024.

The Three Lions face Croatia, Ghana and Panama in Group L, with their campaign beginning on June 17th against Croatia in Texas.

Henderson is one of three 'keepers called up by Thomas Tuchel, alongside Jordan Pickford and James Trafford.

Elsewhere, Palace forward Jørgen Strand Larsen has been called up in Norway's final 26-man squad.

The forward has 26 caps so far and will hope to add to that tally in North America.

Norway will face Iraq, Senegal and France in Group I where there is plenty of Palace representation. Strand Larsen could come up against France duo Jean-Philippe Mateta and Maxence Lacroix.

He could also face-off against Ismaïla Sarr, who has been called up to the Senegal squad.

North America will be the third World Cup of Sarr's career, having already represented the Lions of Teranga at Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022.

Sarr has 83 caps to date and has already won international silverware in the form of the 2021 African Cup of Nations.

Congratulations Dean, Jørgen and Ismaïla!
