Jamie Carragher says England should keep Declan Rice in their plans for the match against Ghana, arguing that England cannot afford to rest him despite fitness concerns. Carragher’s view is that Rice plays too important a role for England to sit him out, even if he is not fully fit. At the same time, he argues against taking risks with Bukayo Saka. Carragher suggests Saka should not be risked in the same way, implying that there is greater uncertainty over his availability or readiness. The comments frame a contrast between two England players: Rice is treated as a near-essential option, while Saka is viewed as someone who could be managed more cautiously to avoid worsening an issue. Across the sources, the central message remains that England’s selection and fitness decisions require balancing immediate needs with the players’ conditions ahead of the Ghana fixture.
