England midfielder Declan Rice is recovering after being substituted late in their 2-1 men’s FIFA World Cup win over DR Congo in the round of 16. Multiple reports say Rice played through “terrible pain” and was later seen icing his quad/hamstring area, raising questions about his fitness for the next match against Mexico. England manager Thomas Tuchel addresses the situation by saying Rice is not injured in a way that threatens his involvement, while also describing concern around other areas of the squad. The Independent and Yahoo Sports report that Tuchel gives a team news update ahead of the “crunch” Mexico game, noting injury concerns at right-back and suggesting Rice’s condition is being monitored. The Independent also reports that Rice is dealing with nerve pain in his back, which contributed to him being forced off toward the end of the DR Congo match. Overall, sources agree Rice has discomfort requiring management after the DR Congo game, but Tuchel’s comments indicate England does not view the issue as a confirmed injury setback.
