Nico O'Reilly has been ruled out of England's Nations League match against Czechia on Tuesday through injury, while Ezri Konsa is expected to be available. Both players missed training on Monday before the squad flew to Prague.
O'Reilly replaced by Ngumoha
O'Reilly, 21, played the full 90 minutes in England's 3-2 defeat to Spain at Wembley on Saturday and has been Thomas Tuchel's first-choice left-back. The Manchester City defender did travel with the squad but has been replaced in the matchday squad by Liverpool forward Rio Ngumoha, who was not involved against Spain.
Konsa, 28, has been included in Tuesday's squad and could retain his place at centre-back. The Arsenal defender has been a regular under Tuchel, featuring in every game at the World Cup over the summer and since his move from Aston Villa in a deal worth up to £55million.
Tuchel waiting on fitness checks
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Tuchel was unsure whether both players would be fit. "It was because of minor issues," the England manager said. "But there are still issues."
On Monday, Tuchel added: "Today in the morning we had a light training for the guys who started the game. The very last checks will be made tomorrow morning. If the doctors and physios give thumbs up then we're good to go."
"One day longer would really make a difference. I feel the players who were on the pitch today all really want to play and are up for it."
Kane and Bellingham set to start
Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham are both expected to start as England look to kick-start their Nations League campaign. Lewis Hall and Myles Lewis-Skelly are options to replace O'Reilly at left-back.
Despite the need for a result, Tuchel played down suggestions that the match is a must-win. "It is a bit early in the group for 'must-win'," he said. "We respect the quality of the opposition. I feel I always need a result, no matter where. Especially after defeat, even if this is the way to go forward, even then you just need it for yourself, and to show straight away a reaction. The match tomorrow has the highest priority."
England travel to Croatia for their third group game on Saturday before hosting Czechia at Wembley next Tuesday.
