England in for huge injury boost as Thomas Tuchel reveals Bukayo Saka latest ahead of Ghana match | OneFootball

Arsenal winger arrived for World Cup camp carrying Achilles injury

While Saka did not take part in Saturday’s full session, Ollie Watkins later revealed in a press conference that Saka had been involved in some of that session.

Saka then trained in full on both Sunday and Monday in a boost to England as he works towards a first start of the tournament.

It has been considered likely that Noni Madueke will start over him against Ghana on Tuesday because Tuchel explained last Wednesday that they were working towards the third group game against Panama in terms of Saka making the starting line-up for the first time.

But Tuchel offered a fresh update at his pre-Ghana press conference on Monday.

“It is another big thing on the right wing between Noni Madueke and Bukayo Saka, and the beautiful thing is they do it for Arsenal as well,” he said.

“He [Saka] feels no more pain. He was able to train in full [on Sunday and Monday].”

The England manager added: “Bukayo is getting better and better, feels no more pain, and is ready to go — without telling you if he starts or comes from the bench.”
