The 2026 FIFA World Cup is underway and Everton supporters have four players to keep an eye on over the coming weeks.
Jordan Pickford, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Iliman Ndiaye, and Nathan Patterson are all representing their countries in North America, with David Moyes certain to be monitoring their progress ahead of the new season at the Hill Dickinson.
Senegal’s campaign continued last night with a dramatic 3-2 defeat to Norway, leaving Aliou Cisse’s side needing a big win over Iraq in their final group game to keep any hope of qualifying alive. Scotland’s winning start to the tournament was ended earlier in the week, with Morocco beating Steve Clarke’s side 1-0 to leave the group still finely poised ahead of the final round of fixtures. England started their World Cup with a 4-2 win over Croatia.

Jordan Pickford (England)
Pickford heads into another major tournament as England’s undisputed number one.
The Everton goalkeeper has become one of the Three Lions’ most dependable performers and will be expected to play a key role if England are to challenge for the trophy. Made a couple of crucial saves in England’s opening 4-2 win over Croatia.

Idrissa Gana Gueye (Senegal)
Gueye started and played the full 90 minutes as Senegal were beaten 3-2 by Norway in a thrilling Group I encounter last night, with Erling Haaland’s brace either side of a Marcus Holmgren Pedersen opener putting Norway in control before a late Senegal fightback fell just short.
The midfielder was at the heart of that response, combining with Sadio Mane to set up Ismaila Sarr’s first goal, and had a penalty appeal turned down after going down under a heavy aerial challenge from David Moller Wolfe. It capped a difficult night for Senegal, who have now lost two of their three group games and face Iraq needing a big win to stay in contention.

Iliman Ndiaye (Senegal)
Ndiaye was named among the substitutes for last night’s 3-2 defeat to Norway but didn’t get off the bench, with Aliou Cisse instead turning to Ibrahim Mbaye, Ismail Jakobs, Mory Diaw, Pathe Ciss and Pape Matar Sarr as Senegal chased the game.
It means the Everton forward’s appearance tally stays at one for the tournament so far. With Senegal now needing a big win over Iraq to have any realistic hope of progressing, Ndiaye could yet have a part to play in the final group game.

Nathan Patterson (Scotland)
Patterson made his first start of the tournament earlier in the week, recalled at right-back after a late injury ruled out first-choice Aaron Hickey, but couldn’t prevent Scotland slipping to a 1-0 defeat to Morocco.
Steve Clarke’s side had made the perfect start against Haiti, but Morocco’s Ismael Saibari struck inside the opening minute and the goal proved enough to hand the Atlas Lions top spot in Group C.
The defender played 88 minutes before making way for Anthony Ralston, and Scotland now need at least a point against Brazil in their final group game to be sure of qualification.

Everton’s World Cup representation
It’s been a tough week for Everton’s contingent at the tournament. Senegal’s defeat to Norway leaves both Gueye and Ndiaye needing a big result against Iraq to keep their World Cup alive, while Patterson and Scotland must beat or draw with Brazil to guarantee their own progress after Morocco ended their unbeaten start.
Pickford and England remain the bright spot, having made a winning start against Croatia and now turning their attention to Ghana and Panama.
