Doubts About England Duo's Participation Against Panama
Doubts hover over the readiness of England's star, Reece James, to participate in the anticipated match against Panama in the third round of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup.
According to reports, James is suffering from a hamstring strain, which puts him under medical observation before the crucial match. It is unlikely that head coach Thomas Tuchel will risk playing him, especially given his long history of muscle injuries in recent years.
Sources also indicated that midfielder Declan Rice is undergoing medical monitoring, as he is playing a key role in the World Cup despite suffering from calf pain.
The English team is preparing to face Panama early Sunday, aiming to secure a spot in the next round and finish the group stage at the top.
The England team leads the group standings with 4 points, ahead of the Ghana team, which has the same number of points, due to goal difference. Meanwhile, the Croatia team is in third place with 3 points, and the Panama team is at the bottom of the standings with no points.
