England manager Thomas Tuchel says Bukayo Saka will be eased through the next week of training and is unlikely to start against Ghana. According to Tuchel, Saka’s workload is being managed as part of a plan to keep him available for later matches. The expectation is that Saka will not return to the starting lineup until England’s final World Cup group game against Panama. The comments indicate a cautious approach to his fitness and involvement during the upcoming fixtures, with Tuchel suggesting that Saka’s preparation will be adjusted rather than fully ramped up immediately. The reports present the same timeline: limited training for the next week, no start versus Ghana, and a potential start in the group finale against Panama. No additional details about the nature of any injury or specific fitness concern are provided in the excerpts.
