Saka ist jetzt schmerzfrei – Tuchel

England manager Thomas Tuchel has provided an update on winger Bukayo Saka's fitness before England's second match at the World Cup against Ghana.

Saka has been dealing with an Achilles issue since March and has been following an individual training programme alongside joining full sessions with the rest of the squad.

The 24-year-old came off the bench in England's 4-2 win over Croatia, assisting Marcus Rashford, in the Three Lions opening game of the World Cup.

Tuchel said: "Bukayo is getting better and better. He is more and more free in his movements. He feels no more pain.

"He was able to do both our training sessions on the last two days on the highest levels.

"He is ready to go."

Arsenal team-mate Noni Madueke started the first match of the tournament and won the penalty for England's opening goal.

Tuchel called the battle between the pair for the for the starting spot on the right wing a "big competition".

"The beautiful thing is that they do it at Arsenal as well. And they do it at Arsenal and compete at Arsenal and they do it with a lot of respect for each other.

"They way they do it in training, sometimes competing on opposite teams, sometimes they train on the same position, If we go through patterns defensively or offensively, it is just a pleasure to see," Tuchel said.
