Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher warned England against resting Declan Rice but urged caution over Bukayo Saka’s fitness ahead of their World Cup fixture against Ghana.

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has urged England manager Thomas Tuchel not to rest midfielder Declan Rice for the upcoming World Cup clash against Ghana.

Despite carrying a lingering hamstring injury, Carragher insisted Rice is too crucial to drop. However, the former defender advised against risking winger Bukayo Saka, who continues to manage a persistent Achilles issue following a brief substitute appearance against Croatia.

Regarding defensive dilemmas, Carragher favored a partnership of Marc Guehi and John Stones, suggesting Stones needs minutes to regain complete match fitness.

While England’s explosive second-half display secured a 4-2 victory over Croatia, the pundit warned against early tournament hyperbole.

He noted that the team must navigate their remaining Group L fixtures cleanly before focusing on an unpredictable knockout stage pathway.
