Declan Rice: The England midfielder is expected to be ready for the Ghana World Cup


Dylan Rice expected to be fit for England’s World Cup clash with Ghana after lower back injury Croatia won.

The midfielder was substituted midway through the second half, posing a fitness concern.

But he understands the back issue will not prevent Rice from playing against Ghana in Boston on Tuesday (21:00).

The complaint has been carried by the 27-year-old Arsenal midfielder for some time and will require management during the tournament.

Speaking after the game, manager Thomas Tuchel said: “Declan had an unusual loss of the ball and I saw a bit of discomfort.

“Then I asked him, and he pointed directly to his lower back, his upper shoulder blades, where he feels uncomfortable.

“I didn’t want to take any risks, I hope it’s nothing. Declan finally reassured me.

“We’ll take care of it, and there’s nothing to worry about.”
