SportFootballThomas TuchelThomas Tuchel will be concerned over England star Declan Rice after the Arsenal midfielder was spotted limping after being replaced during the clash against Croatia22:47, 17 Jun 2026Updated 22:57, 17 Jun 2026Declan Rice was spotted limping after being substituted in England's clash against Croatia. Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel will hope the issue is not serious to avoid denting England's World Cup hopes.‌Rice lasted 72 minutes as he was replaced, alongside Anthony Gordon and Noni Madueke, and Morgan Rogers, Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka entered the fray. Jude Bellingham dropped into the centre of midfield alongside Elliot Anderson as Tuchel's men attempted to see out the game against Croatia.‌England twice let leads slip against the side that knocked them out of the World Cup at the semi-final stage in 2018. Harry Kane scored a penalty before Petar Sucic found the net, and England's captain restored his side's lead on the verge of half-time before they let Petar Musa in to ensure the scores were level at the break.‌Bellingham wasted little time firing back into the lead with an impressive run from the right, as England regained their advantage after just 47 minutes. And Rashford produced an impact from the bench to give England a two-goal cushion before the night was done.While Tuchel will have been reassured to see England's performance continue at a high level in Rice's absence, he will be desperate for the 27-year-old to be in a good enough condition to play a central role as England attempt to win the World Cup for the first time in 60 years.Article continues belowRice is said to have been dealing with a back injuryThere will be more to follow on this breaking news story and Mirror Sport will bring you the very latest updates, pictures and video as soon as possible.Please check back regularly for updates on this developing story.
