WORLD CUP | Reece James misses England training, doubtful for Group L finale vs Panama

Reece James missed England training on Thursday, putting his fitness in doubt for the Three Lions’ final Group L match against Panama on Saturday (22:00 BST) at New York New Jersey Stadium, according to Yahoo Sports. The 26-year-old Chelsea right-back has a hamstring issue suffered in Tuesday’s 0-0 draw with Ghana and it is unclear if he will be fit to start or make the bench. Declan Rice also missed the session after leaving Boston Stadium with strapping on his left calf, though sources said his fitness is less of a concern; Rice is also one booking away from a round-of-32 suspension after being booked against Ghana. England lead Group L on goal difference over Ghana and are one point ahead of Croatia, whom they beat 4-2 in their opener.
