Doubts surround the Three Lions star… and Tuchel refuses to take any chances

Bukayo Saka’s participation in England’s starting line-up against Ghana in the second round of the World Cup group stage is in doubt.

England kicked off their 2026 World Cup campaign with a thrilling 4-2 win over Croatia, while Ghana beat Panama with a decisive goal.

According to the networkSky Sports“The coach of the Three Lions national team, Thomas Tuchel, indicated that Saka may not participate in the start until the last match of the World Cup group stage against Panama.

The technical staff of the England national team continues to be cautious about the Achilles tendon problem that Bukayo Saka is suffering from.

Tuchel noted that Saka will train gradually over the next week and is unlikely to start until the final game of the group stage against Panama.

This means that his Arsenal teammate Noni Madueke will keep his position on the right wing. He was widely praised for his performance against Croatia, where he won a penalty and created several dangerous chances.
