Reece James Doubtful for England's Clash Against Mexico
July 6, 2026 · Paula Jiménez
Reece James is doubtful for England's World Cup match against Mexico due to a hamstring injury, while Jarrell Quansah has recovered and is fit to play.
Reece James missed England's final training session ahead of their critical World Cup last-16 match against Mexico, casting doubt on his availability. The right-back has been sidelined for England's last two fixtures due to a hamstring injury sustained in the draw against Ghana. According to The Football Association, James is currently on a tailored recovery program away from the main squad. However, England received a boost with Jarrell Quansah's return to full fitness. Quansah, versatile in defense, had been out with a hamstring injury from the Panama match but is now ready to play. His availability relieves Thomas Tuchel's defensive concerns, particularly at right-back, where Djed Spence and midfielder Declan Rice have previously covered. The upcoming fixture at the historic Azteca Stadium is crucial for England's World Cup aspirations.
