Declan Rice News: Starting as expected

Rice (back) is part of England's starting XI to face Mexico on Sunday.

Rice won't be forced to miss the World Cup round of 16 match after being questionable prior to the game. However, the central man has been playing through discomfort and may struggle to complete the full 90 minutes. Despite being tested as a full-back due to England's injury situation, Rice will feature in his regular midfield position, with Jarell Quansah operating in the wide defensive spot. The Arsenal player has excelled in creative duties throughout the tournament, taking plenty of set pieces and averaging 4.0 chances created per game while providing one assist over three appearances.
