Injury Concern as Saka Sits Out England Training Before Ghana Clash

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka missed England’s training session on Saturday as he continues to manage an Achilles issue. Saka came on as a second-half substitute in England’s 4-2 win over Croatia but now faces doubt ahead of the World Cup 2026 group match against Ghana. Head coach Thomas Tuchel told reporters that Saka has shown strong work in small-space drills and should be fully fit by the last game of the group. Tuchel also suggested Marcus Rashford currently has a slight edge on the opposite flank, though he praised the depth of options available.

Could Saka's absence from training hint at more serious Achilles trouble before facing Ghana?

It's curious that he appeared fine as a substitute in the Croatia match yet now sits out training so abruptly.

I'm not convinced this signals a crisis; players often sit out training to manage fitness without serious concern.

England should monitor his Achilles response to light drills over next few days before finalizing squad for the Ghana fixture.
