Bukayo Saka is cleared to face Ghana after Tuchel confirmed the winger 'feels no more pain' from his Achilles problem. Saka completed both of England's recent training sessions at the highest level, signalling his readiness for the World Cup Group L tie on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old started on the bench in England's 4-2 opening victory against Croatia but was introduced late in the game. Tuchel has been cautious managing his recovery but indicated Saka is now available for increased involvement, though stopped short of confirming his starting role against Ghana.
Tuchel outlined his coaching philosophy of allowing attackers freedom to express themselves, referencing orchestra conductor Bernard Haitink's approach of not interrupting the musicians. Noni Madueke is likely to start at right wing, with Anthony Gordon and Marcus Rashford competing for the left wing position.
Midfielder Declan Rice, substituted as a precaution against Croatia with hamstring discomfort, remains available for Ghana after managing neural pain since December throughout the 2025-26 season without significantly affecting his performances for Arsenal.
