Tuchel weighs selection dilemmas ahead of England's match against Ghana
Summary

Ahead of England's World Cup match against Ghana in Boston on June 20, head coach Thomas Tuchel faces key selection decisions, particularly in defense and attack. Tuchel must decide whether to keep Ezri Konsa alongside John Stones or bring in Marc Guehi, who has seen less time on the pitch. Additionally, Marcus Rashford's strong performance as a substitute in England's prior match may influence his starting position over Anthony Gordon. England's defense showed vulnerability in their opener against Croatia, sparking debate over the optimal lineup. Tuchel's previous selections have favored Konsa, who has started ten of the last fifteen games, leading to discussions about his defensive strategy going forward.
