England manager Thomas Tuchel says Bukayo Saka is not 100% after an Achilles problem as the team prepares for the World Cup. Multiple reports say Saka joined England’s squad in West Palm Beach after being given extra rest, along with other Arsenal players including Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke. Tuchel describes Saka as having played “through the pain” for Arsenal but notes he is unable to train on consecutive days and that key aspects of fitness are still missing. Saka says he is willing to “gamble” on his fitness to play for England and is “ready to go,” while acknowledging his injury is being monitored carefully by the FA and the team. Several outlets report Saka expects to be available for England’s Group L opener against Croatia in Dallas on June 17, after coming off the bench in England’s warm-up match against Costa Rica. Earlier, he reportedly injured the Achilles around the Carabao Cup final in March, missed subsequent Arsenal matches, and has had limited minutes since. The situation leaves England with potential selection and squad-management decisions if his condition worsens.
