England team news: Thomas Tuchel gives Reece James update ahead of crunch Mexico World Cup clash 05.07.2026

The Independent

England manager Thomas Tuchel has provided crucial injury updates ahead of a high-stakes World Cup Round of 16 clash against Mexico in Mexico City. While Chelsea captain Reece James underwent a personalized recovery program for a hamstring injury, Tuchel indicated he may undergo a late fitness test to join the matchday squad. Conversely, Jarrell Quansah has returned to full fitness following an ankle injury, and Declan Rice has been declared fit despite managing back and hamstring pain. The team also addressed the challenges of playing at an altitude of 7,220 feet and potential noise disturbances from fans. Despite these factors, Tuchel expressed confidence in the squad's ability to adapt and dismissed concerns regarding a hostile environment, noting that security measures are in place at the players' hotel to ensure their safety and well-being.
