England Right-Back Injury Concerns

England's World Cup campaign is facing a new concern after right-back Djed Spence revealed he is struggling with a muscular niggle ahead of their highly anticipated last-16 tie against Mexico. The 22-year-old's injury woes come as a significant blow to Gareth Southgate's squad, which has already seen several key players ruled out due to various injuries and suspensions.

Spence, who has been a regular presence in England's starting lineup, was spotted limping during training sessions, sparking fears that he may not be fit to take on the Mexican side. The injury adds to the concerns surrounding England's right-back position, with Trent Alexander-Arnold's fitness also a subject of speculation. With the World Cup's knockout stages approaching, Southgate will be under immense pressure to find a suitable solution to strengthen his defense.

As England prepares to face Mexico, the team will be anxiously watching Spence's progress, hoping that he will be able to shake off the niggle in time for the crucial match. The injury's impact on the team's performance remains to be seen, but one thing is certain - England will need to remain adaptable and resilient to overcome the challenges that lie ahead in the World Cup.
