Tuchel Confirms Rice Fit for World Cup Semi-Final vs Argentina

Thomas Tuchel, the coach of the England National Team, confirmed that midfielder Declan Rice is fit to start in the World Cup semi-final against defending champions Argentina on Wednesday. Rice had recovered from an injury that forced him off at half-time during England's quarter-final victory over Norway.

Tuchel stated that all players are fit to start except for Jarel Quansah, who is suspended, and Jordan Henderson, who will miss the encounter due to a broken arm sustained in a freak accident following England's last 16 win over co-host Mexico. Tuchel provided this update during a pre-match press conference in Atlanta on Tuesday.

He emphasized the significance of the match against Argentina, describing it as one of the biggest fixtures in international football, highlighting the historical rivalry between the two nations. Tuchel insisted that the players should not draw motivation from past encounters but focus on the present, stating they are hungry for the next win and respect their opponents.
