Declan Rice likely to play against Panama despite missing training

England midfielder Declan Rice could participate in the upcoming match against Panama despite missing a training session. He left the previous game against Ghana with heavy strapping on his left calf, but sources indicate that his fitness level is less concerning compared to teammate Reece James. Thomas Tuchel has stated that he is open to rotating players for the final group match, though Rice's potential suspension for future matches remains a factor. England aims to secure their spot in the World Cup knockout stages, having a strong chance to qualify even before their match. Kobbie Mainoo is on standby if Rice cannot participate.
