Former England left-back Wayne Bridge has thrown his full support behind Manchester City defender Nico O'Reilly, predicting the 21-year-old will use the FIFA World Cup 2026 as a platform to establish himself among the game's elite.
O'Reilly has earned only five senior caps for England heading into the tournament, yet has already secured the starting left-back berth under manager Thomas Tuchel. Bridge, who occupied the same position throughout his own international career, says the youngster possesses exactly the attributes needed to thrive on the biggest stage.
