England Dealt New Injury Concern for Ghana World Cup Clash.

England Dealt New Injury Concern for Ghana World Cup Clash Tuchel's Trio of Concerns England is facing fresh injury worries as they prepare for their World Cup 2026 Group L match against Ghana. The latest concern centers around Marcus Rashford, the Manchester United forward, who has become a doubt due to hamstring tightness. Rashford played a crucial role in England's 4-2 victory over Croatia, scoring a late goal after coming off the bench. This contribution had placed him in contention for a starting role against Ghana. However, his hamstring issue has cast doubt on his availability for the upcoming match. Rashford 'Doubtful' for Ghana Clash Following their win over Croatia, England's squad participated in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Sporting Kansas City, winning 5-1. Rashford, however, did not feature in this match. Head coach Thomas Tuchel remains hopeful that Rashford will return to full training by Saturday, ahead of the Ghana encounter. Rashford's recent performances, including his standout season with Barcelona, have been impressive. He scored 14 goals and provided 14 assists in 49 matches, further enhancing his reputation on the international stage. Other Injury Concerns Rashford is not the only concern for England. Bukayo Saka of Arsenal is managing an Achilles issue, which kept him from starting against Croatia. Despite this, he contributed by setting up Rashford's goal after coming off the bench. Tuchel has hinted at Saka's potential involvement from the start against Ghana, while Noni Madueke impressed in Saka's absence. Additionally, Declan Rice is dealing with back pain. However, this is not expected to keep him out of the match against Ghana. England's Position in Group L Both England and Ghana are level on three points at the top of Group L, with England leading due to a superior goal difference. A victory against Ghana would assure England a spot in the last 32 of the tournament, making their upcoming match crucial. The team will be hoping that their injury concerns do not hinder their progress in the competition.
