Declan Rice Injury: Likely to be available
Rice has been managing a neural problem affecting his hamstring and lower back throughout the tournament and was substituted in injury time of the win over DR Congo, though he is likely to be available to start Sunday's round of 16 clash against Mexico, according to Sami Mokbel of BBC Sport.
Rice has been soldiering through the issue throughout the World Cup, with manager Thomas Tuchel insisting there is no structural injury despite the significant discomfort. The Arsenal captain will aim to be fit enough to start against Mexico at altitude in Mexico City, with his availability considered likely despite the ongoing pain management. Jordan Henderson and Kobbie Mainoo would be the likely replacements if the Gunner can't make it.
