England are preparing for their second World Cup match against Ghana with Bukayo Saka taking a different training route from the rest of the squad. Multiple outlets report that Saka does not join group training during the latest session and instead works on an individual programme. BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports state that he is the only player absent from group work as England step up preparations for the match.
The Independent adds that Saka is not expected to be fit to start against Ghana but is able to train with the squad on Sunday. Yahoo Sports links his separate work to management of an Achilles injury that troubled him during the latter part of the domestic season. It also notes that Saka appeared as a substitute in England’s opening win against Croatia on Wednesday.
A further report from the Belfast Telegraph indicates Saka is involved as the full England squad trains ahead of the Ghana game, suggesting variation across reports about his exact availability for that session.
