Bukayo Saka participated in full England squad training on Sunday, showing advancement in his recovery from Achilles tendinitis. The Arsenal winger had done individual work on Saturday but progressed to normal team training, with manager Thomas Tuchel overseeing the session in Kansas City.
Saka came off the bench in England's 4-2 opening victory over Croatia. Tuchel indicated the 24-year-old is unlikely to start until the third group match versus Panama, limiting his immediate availability for Tuesday's Ghana fixture.
Saka carried the Achilles issue through Arsenal's end-of-season campaign, during which the club won its first Premier League title in 22 years. Arsenal deemed him fit enough for regular starting action despite the ongoing concern.
Saka's fitness progression affects betting markets on England's attacking lineup and squad depth; markets on England's Ghana match odds may shift based on his availability status across upcoming group matches.
