England vs Panama: Bukayo Saka fit and ready to start in Three Lions' final group game plus Reece James, Elliot Anderson, Declan Rice injury news

England boss Thomas Tuchel says Bukayo Saka is "free of pain" and "ready to go" for the Three Lions' final group game with Panama - amid an injury blow to defender Reece James.

Saka started on the bench for England's first two World Cup games against Croatia and Ghana and made second-half cameos as a substitute. This is due to a long-term Achilles issue that affected his season run-in at Arsenal.

However, Tuchel revealed Saka has spent the last few days feeling back to his normal self after a strict medical process that included consultation with Arsenal.

"For Bukayo, it was the right thing [not to start him yet]," said Tuchel. "We agreed with Bukayo and especially the medical team at Arsenal in tight co-operation that this is the way to build him up.

"He is now, since many days, fully free of pain and discomfort and is ready to go and ready to start."

"The thinking of calling Chalobah is to free up Quansah on the right full-back position for us," said Tuchel. "I saw him playing very strongly there for Liverpool and he played enough in a back three - which is not so far from the position - in Leverkusen. And we have Djed Spence.

"No one could see that [James injury] coming. Reece was in good shape.

"Konsa played in that right-back position as well for us on a high level. No problem. We would love to have Reece as a key player but he's not available. We will find solutions. That's what we do."
