Bukayo Saka has handed England mana,,, I ger Thomas Tuchel a timely fitness boost after returning to full training ahead of Tuesday’s World Cup Group G clash against Ghana in Boston.
The Arsenal forward did not take part fully in Saturday’s training session, instead completing individual work as he continues to manage an Achilles tendinitis problem.
However, Saka is understood to have rejoined his teammates for normal training during England’s penultimate session on Sunday, raising hopes that he could play a greater role in the upcoming encounter.
The 24-year-old started on the bench in England’s opening 4-2 victory over Croatia, with Tuchel carefully managing his workload due to the persistent issue.
Despite his return to full training, Tuchel recently suggested that Saka is unlikely to be ready for a starting role until England’s final group-stage match against Panama.
Saka has been dealing with the Achilles problem for some time. Although there were concerns within Arsenal about the injury, the club considered him fit enough to remain a regular starter during the closing stages of last season.
The winger played a key role as Arsenal secured their first Premier League title in 22 years, featuring consistently throughout the club’s successful run-in.
It is understood that Saka’s condition has remained stable since the end of the domestic campaign, with no deterioration reported since Arsenal’s title triumph.
