Mbappe, Dembele and the best young players heading to the World Cup

From Marcus Rashford to Ramadan Sobhi, Goal takes a look at the finest players of promise potentially heading to Russia next summer

We now know the majority of World Cup participants.

England have booked their spot in Russia, and will be joined by the likes of Brazil, Argentina, Spain and Panama. The USA, and Christian Pulisic, will amazingly be missing, after they fell to a disastrous 2-1 defeat to Trinidad & Tobago in their final qualification match.

Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland could still qualify, but they will have to navigate a play-off against one of the seeded teams: Italy, Croatia, Denmark and Switzerland.
