Thomas Tuchel is confident of Declan Rice‘s ability to start England’s World Cup semi-final after he trained on the eve of their last-four clash with Argentina in a huge fitness boost.
England take on Lionel Messi and co in Atlanta on Wednesday seeking to seal a place in Sunday’s MetLife Stadium showpiece.
The Three Lions secured their place in the semi-finals with a narrow 2-1 extra-time victory against Norway in Miami, where the unusually ineffective Rice was withdrawn at half-time.
Tuchel revealed after the quarter-final that the **** nal star had been bedbound for three days in the build-up to the tie having fallen unwell after the last-16 trip to Mexico.
Rice has also been dealing with nagging hamstring pain since Christmas but he trained with his team-mates at their Kansas City base before flying to Georgia on Tuesday.
