WORLD CUP | England sweat on Quansah, James ahead of DR Congo last-32 clash

England manager Thomas Tuchel said he has a defensive selection issue ahead of Wednesday’s World Cup last-32 match against the Democratic Republic of Congo after Jarell Quansah and Reece James missed the squad’s final training session, according to Yahoo Sports. James has a hamstring injury and Quansah picked up an ankle issue after replacing him against Panama, with both defenders following individual rehabilitation programmes and unlikely to feature; Tuchel is weighing Djed Spence or Ezri Konsa at right-back. Declan Rice trained on Tuesday after being rested for the 2-0 win over Panama that sealed top spot in Group L, while DR Congo reached the knockouts for the first time by beating Uzbekistan 3-1 on Saturday.
