World Cup 2018: England's Jordan Pickford to wear number one shirt

Jordan Pickford made his England debut in a friendly against Germany at Wembley last November

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has been given the England number one shirt for this summer's World Cup.

The 24-year-old made only his third international appearance when he started the 2-1 friendly victory over Nigeria on Saturday.

Manager Gareth Southgate indicated afterwards that Pickford would start the opening World Cup game against Tunisia on 18 June (19:00 BST).

"There was a bit of a statement with the selection of Jordan," he said.

"His decision-making was good, although he was rarely tested."

Stoke's Jack Butland and Burnley's Nick Pope - the other goalkeepers in the squad - will wear 13 and 23 respectively.

Captain Harry Kane, who wears number 10 at Tottenham, is given the number nine, with Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling wearing 10.
