England vs Ghana Predicted Lineups & Team News

England put on a show in their FIFA World Cup opener as they won 4-2 against Croatia. The Three Lions have the opportunity to seal their place in the knockout stage with a victory against Ghana in Foxborough on Tuesday (4pm local/9pm BST, BBC One).

Below you'll find the latest England vs Ghana team news as well as my predicted line-ups.

England

England boss Thomas Tuchel replaced the injured Tino Livramento with Trevoh Chalobah to bolster his defensive ranks.

Despite concerns about the fitness of Bukayo Saka, the Three Lions squad has been boosted by the improving status of the winger, who took part in training on Sunday.

It seems that Tuesday will come too soon for the Arsenal man but he may be in a position to be involved in the final group game against Panama on Saturday.

Declan Rice was forced off against Croatia with a hamstring issue, while Marcus Rashford is dealing with a similar problem. Both will need to be assessed ahead of kick-off.

The centre-back pairing of Ezri Konsa and John Stones looked vulnerable in the last game, and so we could see Marc Guehi promoted to face the Black Stars.

Ghana

Thomas Partey will be available for selection against England after he was denied entry into Canada for Ghana's opening fixture against Panama because of his upcoming trial in the UK for rape charges. If he is given the nod to start, he'd likely replace Elisha Owusu in midfield.

It remains unclear on the condition of goalkeeper Lawrence Ati Zig, who was withdrawn at half-time last time out due to discomfort. Reports on his status have been mixed, with some stating he's going to be sidelined for the next three weeks. So we may see Benjamin Asare start between the sticks in Foxborough.

England vs Ghana Key Players:

Jude Bellingham (England)

Any seeds of doubt surrounding Jude Bellingham's status as a key player for England were put to rest against Croatia after a strong display. He was one of the four goalscorers last time out but it was his controlling of the game that had fans impressed.

The Three Lions will be expected to beat Ghana, who only scraped their way past Panama. Bellingham should have a big influence in this match and I think he can help his side to add to their goal tally.

Antoine Semenyo (Ghana)

I was initially going to go with a defender for Ghana but then I remembered the shaky moments shown by England's centre-backs against Croatia. Antoine Semenyo is waiting to become a key figure for the Black Stars, but after an impressive season in the Premier League, this is a game in which he'll need to rise to the occasion.

He has the talent to ask questions of England's back line, but I don't think it'll make a big difference in the grand scheme of things.
