England Team News vs Mexico: Thomas Tuchel Faces New Injury Concern

Thomas Tuchel has a new injury concern before England's World Cup match against Mexico. Djed Spence is unlikely to start due to an injury. England have had issues with right-back since Tino Livramento left the squad.

Jarrel Quansah and Reece James have also been injured since the World Cup started. Now Spence is injured too, which means Declan Rice might start at right-back or Quansah could play. They will face Mexico's Julian Quinones, who has scored three goals.

Tuchel did not mention Spence's injury in his press conference. He said Rice is fit and James might be on the bench. Spence trained with the team before the press conference.

Tuchel said, 'Reece might be on the bench tomorrow.' He also said everyone else is available to play.

Tuchel said, 'Jarell trained and is available. Reece might make it to the bench, but we need to check with the doctors first.'

If Rice plays at right-back, Jordan Henderson or Kobbie Mainoo might start in midfield. If Quansah starts, Rice will stay in midfield with Elliot Anderson.

Most of England's team is already chosen, with Jordan Pickford in goal and other players like Nico O'Reilly and Harry Kane starting.

Tuchel has to decide who will play on the left and right wings. Anthony Gordon might replace Marcus Rashford, and Noni Madueke might lose his spot to Bukayo Saka.

The England manager is excited for the match in Mexico City. England wants to reach the quarter-finals, where they would play Brazil or Norway.

Tuchel said, 'Mexico City is nicer than I expected. The excitement and emotions are great.'

Tuchel said, 'This will be a big World Cup match tomorrow. We are in an iconic stadium, and it's a massive knockout game against Mexico.'

Tuchel said, 'We know what we need to do, and we will take care of it. We need a strong performance, and I think we will have one.'

Mexico has won all four of their World Cup matches without conceding a goal. They have also lost only two competitive matches at the Azteca Stadium since it opened.

Tuchel said, 'We know everything about the Mexican team. They are in the top 10 in the world rankings and have had good results recently.'

Tuchel said, 'We are prepared, and we will try to exploit Mexico's weaknesses. We respect them, but we also believe in ourselves.'

Tuchel said, 'We need to play our best version of football, both offensively and defensively. We will bring it together for a top performance to beat Mexico.'
