Tuchel Hints Saka May Miss Start Against Ghana

England head coach Thomas Tuchel has suggested that Bukayo Saka may not start in the upcoming match against Ghana due to an ongoing Achilles tendon issue. Saka was substituted in during England's 4-2 World Cup victory against Croatia, where he provided an assist to fellow substitute Marcus Rashford.

Despite his injury concerns, Saka has expressed readiness to play and is preparing to contribute to the team during the World Cup. Tuchel mentioned that Saka is unlikely to start until the final group game against Panama, scheduled for June 27.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been closely monitoring Saka's condition, ensuring that he is fit enough to participate regularly during the season. Tuchel's comments reflect a cautious approach to managing Saka's fitness, recognizing his importance as a key asset for England in the latter stages of the tournament.
