Bukayo Saka trained alone on Saturday as England prepare to face Ghana in their second World Cup match. The Three Lions made a winning start to their campaign in the United States, dispatching Croatia in an exciting opener. They have the chance to book their place in the round of 32 with a win over Ghana, though it remains to be seen whether one key player will be able to feature.
Saka's Injury Concerns
Saka arrived in camp with a nagging Achilles injury, which limited him to just shy of 20 minutes off the bench against Croatia. Noni Madueke started on the right flank in his place. It does not appear he will be fit to start against Ghana, either, after he trained separately on Tuesday, three days before the tie.
Thomas Tuchel is hopeful he will be fit to complete 90 minutes by the time England face Panama in their third and final group stage fixture. Saka was the only absentee from training on Saturday.
Other Fitness Updates
Harry Kane and Declan Rice both came out of the Croatia match with apparent niggles, but both were present at the Swope Soccer Village. Trevoh Chalobah, who earned a late call-up after Tino Livramento was injured in training, was also present in training.
