Likely to miss DR Congo clash
Quansah (ankle) is likely to miss England's round of 32 fixture against DR Congo on Wednesday, with sources believing the match could come too soon despite coach Thomas Tuchel's optimism about his recovery, according to Jacob Steinberg of The Guardian.
Analysis: Quansah's World Cup debut was cut short against Panama after he twisted his ankle in the second half, and with Reece James (hamstring) also out, Djed Spence is expected to start at right-back against DR Congo on Wednesday. The alternative option would see Ezri Konsa shift to right-back with John Stones starting alongside Marc Guehi in central defense, leaving manager Tuchel with multiple contingencies to navigate England's deepening right-back concerns heading into the knockout stage.
Rolls ankle against Panama
Quansah suffered a rolled ankle during the 2-0 win over Panama. According to manager Thomas Tuchel, he will be touch and go for the Round of 32 clash vs DR Congo, reports Craig Hope of the Daily Mail.
Analysis: Quansah's substitution in the 63rd minute stemmed from a minor ankle injury he picked up against Panama. The encouraging sign is that he was able to leave the stadium without assistance, but he is expected to be evaluated on a day‑to‑day basis. His status could force adjustments to England's lineup if he is not fit to play, especially with Reece James already sidelined. This opens the door for either Djed Spence to step into the starting role or for Ezri Konsa to shift to right back with John Stones returning to the XI at center back.
