2026 World Cup: Which Chelsea players are in the quarter

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is down to its final eight, with Chelsea representation in every quarter-final. Here's what's to come as the race for the trophy intensifies!

It was a dramatic turnaround in Atlanta for the defending champions, as Argentina came back from a two-goal deficit against Egypt to secure their place in the final eight with a stunning 3-2 win, in which Enzo scored the late winner.

The ever-present in Argentina's midfield arrived late into the box and headed home to set up a quarter-final tie with Switzerland. Kick-off is due on Sunday, July 12 at 2am UK time.

Penders’ Belgium put four past World Cup co-hosts the United States of America on their way to setting up a mouthwatering clash with current European champions Spain. They'll go head-to-head on Friday July 10, with kick-off set for 8pm UK time.

Mike is yet to feature for the Red Devils in North America.

England – Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah

After finishing top of their group and beating DR Congo 2-1 in the Round of 32, Reece and Trevoh's England enjoyed a memorable night to secure their place in the final eight of the competition.

At the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, England beat co-hosts Mexico 3-2 in a dramatic contest, which means the Three Lions will face Norway on Saturday July 11 at 10pm (UK time) in Miami.

Reece, who has been recovering from a knock, has missed both of England's knockout ties so far, while Trev is still yet to feature.

Gusto’s France are through to the final eight of the World Cup after victories over Sweden and Paraguay. The right-back featured for the final 15 minutes during their 3-0 win over Sweden, while he remained an unused substitute in their Round of 16 clash with Paraguay.

Heading into the quarter-final with a perfect World Cup record so far, Les Bleus will face Morocco later tonight (Thursday July 9, 9pm KO UK time), where Malo will be looking to earn a semi-final spot.
