Hamstring Injury Leaves Reece James in Doubt for England Knockout Stage

England defender Reece James could be sidelined when the World Cup knockout phase begins after picking up a hamstring injury.

The Chelsea right-back has not taken part in training since the team's 0-0 draw with Ghana. He will also sit out England's last group-stage fixture against Panama, and there are doubts over his readiness for a round-of-32 match should the side advance.

James's situation underscores the limited depth Thomas Tuchel has at full-back, with several possible replacements carrying injuries or playing in other positions.

Midfielder Declan Rice has rejoined training after a minor knock and is expected to be fit for the Panama game.
