Updated: Morgan Rogers In, Henderson Out for Good
The Athletic's David Ornstein reports Morgan Rogers is set to start on the right, ahead of both Noni Madueke and Bukayo Saka — the Aston Villa midfielder has started just once this tournament but impressed off the bench against Norway. Jordan Henderson has had surgery on a wrist and forearm injury and is officially ruled out for the rest of the tournament, though he remains with the squad. Reece James has recovered from his hamstring issue but Ezri Konsa gets the start at right-back instead. Declan Rice dealt with illness this week but is expected fit to start regardless. Argentina, by contrast, has a fully healthy squad with no changes expected — though Julián Álvarez and Lautaro Martínez continue competing for the same starting spot, and Leandro Paredes remains the favorite for a more defensively-minded midfield role over Thiago Almada or Nico González.

🏆 Our Prediction · England vs Argentina · World Cup Semifinal · Today
England 2–1 Argentina
Kane and Bellingham combine to finally give England the breakthrough on the biggest stage of their careers, with Morgan Rogers' fresh legs adding a genuine wrinkle. Messi's individual brilliance ensures Argentina goes down fighting rather than fading quietly.
Confidence
MEDIUM
Rice's confirmed fitness and the Rogers wrinkle keep our lean with England, but this remains genuinely one of the closest calls of the entire tournament. Argentina's full-strength squad and Messi's proven ability to produce a moment out of nothing mean nothing is settled until the final whistle — or beyond it.
