England's Bukayo Saka Misses Training Ahead of World Cup Match Against GhanaPreviousNext

England winger Bukayo Saka missed a training session ahead of their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group L match against Ghana as he manages an Achilles injury sustained since March. The Football Association stated he is following an individual program, with no confirmation yet on his participation in the upcoming game. England, currently leading Group L after a 4-2 win over Croatia, will also face Panama next. Coach Thomas Tuchel emphasized careful workload management for Saka, who previously assisted a goal off the bench. Meanwhile, captain Harry Kane praised performances by Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland.
