What We Know
Jarell Quansah limped off with an injury during England duty and has been described in reporting as being in pain; several outlets call the incident a "big blow" that deepens what they term a right-back crisis. Thomas Tuchel — cited in multiple reports — said he is "worried" about England's right-back options after Quansah's injury. Coverage also notes concern that the knock could lead to a lengthy layoff.
Those reports place the problem alongside existing doubts over Reece James, who is reported to be facing a "tight race" to be fit for England's World Cup last-32 tie. Other pieces frame the situation as a recurring issue for England at right-back and record Tuchel saying that one squad absence (Declan Rice) was not related to fitness, underlining that coaches are having to manage multiple personnel questions ahead of the knockout match.
