Tuchel concerned about England's right-back injuries ahead of knockout stage
Summary

Thomas Tuchel expressed concern over England's right-back situation after Jarell Quansah limped off during their 2-0 victory over Panama. Quansah, who started in place of the injured Reece James, sustained an ankle injury and is doubtful for the last-32 knockout match in Atlanta on July 1. With Tino Livramento also ruled out due to a calf issue, Tuchel may need to rely on Djed Spence and Ezri Konsa as his options at right-back. The coach stated he is focused on finding solutions as the team prepares for significant challenges ahead.
