Thomas Tuchel’s England camp has received a major boost ahead of their World Cup, fixture against Ghana, with Marcus Rashford and Declan Rice both returning to full training.

The pair had sparked concern after minor injury issues following the 4-2 win over Croatia, where Rashford scored off the bench and Rice was substituted in the second half with discomfort. However, The Guardian reported that both players were seen moving freely during Saturday’s session, easing fears over their availability.

Rice is expected to retain his midfield role, while Rashford will compete with Anthony Gordon for a starting place on the left. 

Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka continues to be carefully managed due to an Achilles issue and trained individually indoors. 

Noni Madueke is set to keep his place on the right wing for Tuesday’s clash in Boston.
