Quansah and James Miss England Training

Jarell Quansah and Reece James did not participate in England's training session, exacerbating the team's existing challenges at the right-back position. Their absence comes just days before England is scheduled to play their World Cup last-32 match against the Democratic Republic of Congo on Wednesday.

The team has been grappling with a shortage of fit and available right-backs leading up to this crucial fixture. The specific reasons for Quansah and James's training absences were not immediately disclosed by the team's management. This situation places additional pressure on Gareth Southgate, the England manager, to find a suitable solution for the right-back role in a high-stakes tournament game.

England's World Cup campaign has already seen other defensive considerations, and the unavailability of key players like Quansah and James further complicates their tactical planning. The team will need to assess the fitness of their remaining squad members and potentially adapt their strategy to compensate for the missing personnel. The upcoming match against DR Congo is a significant hurdle in their pursuit of advancing further in the competition.
