According to Daily Mail, Chelsea star Mason Mount will start on the bench for England’s World Cup opener against Iran.

England boss Gareth Southgate has reportedly opted to play a 3-4-3 system in the World Cup.

Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden are set to start in England’s front three against Iran.

Mount has scored just two goals and provided three assists for the Blues this season in 21 games in all competitions.
