Marcus Rashford likely to start for England after Ghana draw

Summary

England's recent draw with Ghana highlights the need for a strong response as they prepare for their next World Cup match against Panama. The team has historically bounced back from early group stage setbacks, as demonstrated since 2006. Manager Thomas Tuchel may implement significant changes, particularly in the winger positions, after poor performances from Anthony Gordon and Noni Madueke. Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka are expected to receive starting opportunities following their impactful contributions off the bench in previous games. England aims to secure a win to regain momentum in the tournament.

What they're saying

"
History shows us why there is no need to panic about England's draw with Ghana on Tuesday, but it also underlines why it is important we immediately bounce back. Since 2006, every World Cup winner has dropped points in their first or second group game - but what they have also done each time is go on to win their group.
