WORLD CUP | Declan Rice expected to start for England vs DR Congo in last-32 tie

Declan Rice is expected to be available to start England's World Cup last-32 tie with DR Congo on Wednesday after being rested for the 2-0 win over Panama due to a calf blow suffered in the goalless draw with Ghana, according to Yahoo Sports. England manager Thomas Tuchel said his main injury concerns are Reece James (hamstring) and Jarell Quansah (ankle), with Quansah to be assessed over the next 48 hours and James more likely to return later in the tournament; Djed Spence or Ezri Konsa are options at right-back if needed.
