The British newspaper The Guardian reports that Declan Rice and Ris James, both midfielders of the England team, could be forced to withdraw from the third match of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup against Panama, scheduled for June 28. According to the information collected, the two players felt discomfort following the match played against Ghana (0-0), without the injuries being considered serious. However, as a precaution, they could be left to rest to avoid any worsening. The England team currently leads Group L with four points, followed closely by Ghana, also on four points. The match against Panama therefore promises to be decisive for qualification for the round of 16.
