England's 4-2 opening World Cup win over Croatia in Dallas left manager Thomas Tuchel with selection questions ahead of Tuesday's Ghana match in Boston. In defence, Tuchel selected Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa to partner John Stones over Marc Guehi, despite Konsa being caught out of position for Croatia's second goal. Under Tuchel's management, Konsa has started 10 of 15 games and played 933 minutes, while Guehi has featured in only 7 starts for 504 minutes.
In attack, substitute Marcus Rashford scored England's fourth goal after replacing Anthony Gordon, who started on the left wing. Rashford's impact suggests he could push for a starting role against Ghana. Former England striker Chris Sutton has argued that Tuchel should pair both Konsa and Guehi in central defence rather than fielding John Stones, who started only five Premier League matches for Manchester City last season.
England face Ghana on Tuesday at 21:00 BST in Boston. The selection decisions on defensive pairing and attacking positions could prove significant in group stage competition.
