Bukayo Saka misses England training ahead of Ghana match

Summary

Bukayo Saka did not participate in England's group training session in Kansas City on Saturday due to an ongoing Achilles issue. He is managing his recovery, having missed the Group L opener against Croatia but contributed 18 minutes off the bench, assisting a goal in England's 4-2 victory. Despite his absence from training, Saka is anticipated to be available for the upcoming match against Ghana in Boston on Tuesday. His condition remains a concern, with coach Thomas Tuchel indicating that Saka may not be able to play a full match yet, although he has expressed confidence in his fitness to participate.
