- England manager Thomas Tuchel has expressed concern over the team's right-back situation ahead of the World Cup knockout stage.
- First-choice right-back Reece James is battling a hamstring injury, while his replacement Jarell Quansah limped off with an ankle twist during the 2-0 victory against Panama.
- Quansah's injury adds to existing concerns, as fellow full-back Tino Livramento had already withdrawn from the squad due to a calf issue.
- Despite goals from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane securing the win over Panama, Tuchel admitted worries about the fitness of James and Quansah for the upcoming matches.
- England is set to face DR Congo in the round-of-32 tie in Atlanta on Wednesday, with Tuchel confident in finding solutions for the defensive challenges.
