Ahead of England’s World Cup last-16 match against Mexico at the Estadio Azteca, Reece James is doubtful after missing training on the eve of the game. Multiple reports say James does not take part in the session, and he is not confirmed to be available. England plan to assess his fitness ahead of the tie. Jarell Quansah, meanwhile, is reported to be fit again and available for selection after previously being a concern. Reports consistently note that Quansah returns to training/availability, shifting his status positively for the match. With kickoff approaching, England’s coaching staff are expected to monitor James’ condition closely to determine whether he can feature, while considering Quansah as part of the options for the encounter. The coverage agrees on the key match context: England play Mexico on Saturday in the knockout stage, and the day’s team news centers on James’ missed training and Quansah’s return to fitness.
