England manager Thomas Tuchel is grappling with a defensive selection headache ahead of Wednesday's World Cup last-32 clash against the Democratic Republic of Congo, as both Jarell Quansah and Reece James were absent from the squad's final training session.
Quansah had stepped in for Chelsea defender James, who sustained a hamstring injury, during the final Group L fixture against Panama. However, Quansah himself was forced off with an ankle issue during that match.
