England injuries cause squad omissions, Tuchel downplays issue

England struggled against a disciplined Ghana side, exposing the impact of recent injuries on their lineup. Key figures such as goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and winger Marcus Rashford missed the match due to fitness concerns.

Coach Tuchel deflected media questions with a light‑hearted laugh, insisting the absences would not hinder the team's tactical flexibility. Analysts argue that the injury‑driven omissions make England's approach predictable and could pose challenges in upcoming fixtures.
