Rumour has it that Declan Rice might step in at right-back, or Quansah could be making a comeback. Whoever fills that spot will have to stop Mexico’s star left winger, Julian Quinones. ⚽️🇲🇽

Tuchel’s been tight-lipped, but he did mention that Reece James might be bench-ready, giving some hope to fans. Tottenham’s Spence was seen training, but his availability remains uncertain.

Elsewhere on the field, eyes are on the midfield where Jordan Henderson or Kobbie Mainoo might join forces if Rice shifts back. And keep watch as Anthony Gordon contests Marcus Rashford for a left-wing start, while Bukayo Saka waits in the wings!

This isn’t just any match—it’s a showdown at the iconic Azteca Stadium! With Mexico unbeaten so far, England’s gearing up for what promises to be a thrilling encounter, eyeing a quarter-final spot against Brazil or Norway.

Tuchel’s rallying cry? “We know we’re in for a massive game in an iconic setting. It’s the World Cup, and we’re ready to bring our best!” 🏆🌍

With Mexico ranked in the world’s top 10, having recently outplayed big guns like Belgium and Portugal, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Can England overcome and shine on this grand stage? Only time will tell! ⚔️

Stay tuned for a football night to remember! 🌟⚽️
