England continue preparations for their second World Cup match against Ghana with winger Bukayo Saka not fully participating in group training. Multiple outlets report that Saka is the only player missing from group sessions as the squad steps up work for Tuesday’s game. One report says Saka trains on an individual programme while managing an Achilles injury that affected him late in the domestic season. Another outlet indicates Saka is not expected to be fit to start, though he does train with the England squad on Sunday, suggesting a limited fitness progression rather than a complete absence. BBC reporting also frames Saka’s solo work as part of England’s build-up to the Ghana match, following his appearance as a substitute in England’s opening win against Croatia. Across the coverage, England are preparing for Ghana in a second-match timeline, while medical and workload management around Saka’s injury shapes his involvement in training. The sources do not agree on whether he is fully excluded from all team sessions, but they consistently describe reduced or separate training due to fitness concerns.
