Saka's Achilles: Full Training Boosts England
22 Jun
Summary
- Bukayo Saka trained fully with England ahead of Ghana match.
- Saka is recovering from Achilles tendinitis for weeks.
- Manager Tuchel expects Saka to start after the Panama game.
Bukayo Saka has returned to full training with the England squad, providing a welcome fitness boost for manager Thomas Tuchel's team. This comes as England prepares for their second World Cup fixture against Ghana. Saka had previously engaged in individual training sessions following an Achilles tendinitis issue.
He participated in normal team training during England's penultimate session before Tuesday's match in Boston. Saka has been managing Achilles tendinitis for several weeks, with Arsenal considering him fit enough for regular starts during their recent Premier League title run. His condition has not worsened since then.
Despite this positive development, manager Tuchel has suggested that Saka is unlikely to be a starter until England's third group game against Panama. The attacker had begun on the bench during England's 4-2 victory over Croatia.
