Thomas Tuchel confirmed Bukayo Saka will not start England's next World Cup match against Ghana, targeting the Panama group finale instead. The Arsenal winger continues managing an Achilles injury that hampered the final two months of his club's title run, though Tuchel noted the issue has improved since March.

Saka's 72nd-minute substitute appearance in England's 4-2 victory over Croatia highlighted Tuchel's cautious approach. The manager emphasized that reaching the final group game represents the right moment for Saka's return, praising his training performances in tight spaces while acknowledging the need for match fitness.

Noni Madueke appears set to retain his right-wing position after an impressive World Cup debut. He won the penalty for England's opening goal and consistently threatened Croatia's defense throughout the first half. Tuchel faces selection dilemmas across all four winger positions, with Marcus Rashford also making a strong impact off the bench by scoring England's fourth goal.

England's attacking display in Dallas featured 22 shots and 36 box touches, prompting Tuchel to urge his team to maintain their aggressive approach. He wants the side to play with 'energy and freedom,' believing fans will appreciate the entertaining brand of football. The manager stressed that while outcomes aren't guaranteed, effort certainly is.
