England face a right-back issue ahead of their World Cup knockout game against DR Congo after both Reece James and Jarell Quansah miss training. Multiple reports say Thomas Tuchel has been left with limited options as he prepares for Wednesday’s clash, with James and Quansah unavailable for selection. The situation increases pressure on Tuchel to adjust his squad and rethink his defensive setup, particularly in areas requiring depth and match-ready personnel. With James ruled out and Quansah also absent, England move toward the match with an altered selection plan compared with their earlier preparations. Both outlets frame the issue as part of a broader injury situation affecting Tuchel’s available personnel, forcing him to identify an “emergency” alternative at right back. The reports do not detail the specific injury causes, but they agree on the core development: the two players do not take part in training on the eve of the DR Congo match, leading to changes in England’s team plan for the knockout stage.
