BBC Sport'No one could see it coming' - Tuchel defends selection after James injury
Thomas Tuchel defends his full-back selections after confirming Reece James will miss the match against Panama through injury.
The Guardian FootballThomas Tuchel searches for solutions to overcome Panama’s low block
England head coach has selection dilemmas, not helped by fitness issues with Declan Rice and Reece James In an ideal world, the only selection conundrum before England face Panama would be whether to rest Harry Kane or let the striker use a dead rubber against Group L’s fourth seeds as a chance to keep up with Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé and the other Golden Boot contenders . Yet any hope Tuchel had of giving the reserves a run out in New Jersey surely disappeared when his side drew 0-0 with Ghana on Tuesday and failed to win the group with a game to spare. Now complications remain. The schedule is brutal for England, who face a potential run of four games in 13 days, and Tuchel has a dilemma. This, after all, was surely the one that Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney had marked down as a rare day off for Kane. But England still have to clinch top spot, so weighing up whether to get Kane to ease off before the last 32 is not as big a concern for Tuchel as working out how much of a risk to take with his rotation.

The Guardian FootballEngland enjoy New York minute but fans check out to watch darts instead
Travelling England fans are going under the radar in the Big Apple, but many have attended the US Darts Masters Times Square has been the setting for viral fan activity during this World Cup, from the Norwegian mass elliptical rowing session to Germans jumping up and down while wearing culturally insensitive headgear. On Friday, the day before the Three Lions face Panama in their decisive Group L fixture, it was surely England’s turn to seize centre stage. As various news crews waited at the junction of Broadway and 42nd Street to capture the moment, however, the only visible presence was two blokes holding up a flag of St George with “Seaham Harbour” written on it. “We don’t usually do dances or anything like that,” explained Joe, one of the flag bearers, who hails from Florida via Sunderland and says he works for Nasa in crowd control. “We just like to do arm curls, as we call it, and have a good time.” He mimes the specific curl, it is the kind that moves a glass from bar to mouth.

The Guardian FootballDembélé hat-trick fires France past Norway to seal top spot in World Cup group
Does anyone at the World Cup have the defensive strength to deny this hyper-mobile, supremely varied French attack? Not, it turns out, a second-string Norway, who were torn apart in the first half in Boston, as Ousmane Dembélé scored a beautifully precise 25-minute hat-trick en route to a 4-1 win. France now top Group I and will play their last-32 tie in New Jersey on Tuesday. Norway will play Côte d’Ivoire in Texas. This was a fun, freewheeling game, with the feel of a tournament formality, big third-place playoff energy. But it wasn’t quite that. Certainly nothing that happened here in the absence of the rested Erling Haaland will help nourish Norway’s late-stage tournament hopes, which are real but tentative, and which can only have been damaged by the sight of France’s attack using the corners of Egil Selvik’s goal for shooting practice in a jarringly open, defensively chaotic first half.

The Guardian FootballEngland’s Reece James ruled out for at least two games with hamstring injury
Tuchel now left with limited regular full-back options Chelsea defender sustained hamstring setback in March Reece James will miss England’s next two World Cup matches at least as he fights to recover from a hamstring injury. The right-back, who has a history of problems in the muscle, reported tightness after the team’s 0-0 draw against Ghana in Boston on Tuesday. The Chelsea captain did not train in Kansas City on Friday and Thomas Tuchel later confirmed the defender did not travel with the rest of the squad to New York, where they will play Panama in their final group phase game on Saturday. James will sit that one out and also the last-32 tie which could follow. “We see it as a minor hamstring issue, minor hamstring injury. He was not able to train in the last two days,” said Tuchel.

The Guardian Football‘We’re on the same path now’: Toney on good terms with Tuchel and awaiting his chance
England forward did not get off to the best of starts with the manager but after two fine seasons with Al-Ahli is ready for any opportunity off the bench It was after England’s 0-0 draw with Ghana in their second World Cup group game on Tuesday that Ivan Toney was reminded that young children ask the best questions.
