Rashford and Rice give England boost for Ghana with Saka set for bench again

Saka stayed indoors for individual training on Saturday
England’s second game is against Ghana on Tuesday

Marcus Rashford and Declan Rice have given England a boost by training in advance of Tuesday’s game against Ghana, but Bukayo Saka looks likely to start on the bench again as he works his way back towards full fitness.

Thomas Tuchel has revealed Saka is managing an achilles problem and is not ready to complete a full 90 minutes yet.

The winger came off the bench when England opened their World Cup campaign against Croatia with a 4-2 win in Dallas on Wednesday, but he is still being treated with caution.
