Tuchel worried about right-back situation

Quansah off injured in 'big blow' for England

>Thomas Tuchel says he is worried about England's right-back crisis before their World Cup last-32 tie after Jarell Quansah became the latest in the position to suffer injury.

>Quansah started in place of the injured Reece James in the 2-0 win over Panama in New Jersey, that clinched top spot in Group L, but limped off in the second half and went straight down the tunnel for treatment.

>The injury leaves Tuchel facing a major dilemma heading into their first knockout game in Atlanta on Wednesday (17:00 BST).

>James is a major doubt for the game with a hamstring injury and, with right-back Tino Livramento being forced to leave the squad with a calf issue, Tuchel's only options at right-back appear to be Djed Spence and Ezri Konsa, who has started all three of England's games at centre-back.

>When Livramento pulled out of the World Cup squad, Tuchel opted to call-up centre-back Trevoh Chalobah rather than including a replacement right-back such as Trent Alexander-Arnold.

>Tuchel said it was too early to assess the severity of Quansah's injury immediately after the game but, given the last-32 match is just four days away, the Bayer Leverkusen defender's availability is uncertain.

>"A classic ankle twist and he is in pain," Tuchel said of Quansah's injury. "He said he had it before and it is a matter of days. He has his leg up high and in ice.

>"Naturally of course [I am worried about the right-back situation] - we have another injury in the position.

>"It will be a tight race for Reece James and a tight race for Jarell Quansah but it is our job to find solutions and we will do."
