He said<\/a>: “We still have to take a little bit of care for Bukayo [Saka], who had an injury in March and carried it through to club. He made himself available at the end of the season and did so brilliantly, but he was managed in between matches; that continues a bit at the moment. We are building him up.<\/p>\n“Noni [Madueke], Declan [Rice], and Ebs [Eze] are 100 percent available. We just came from training, and everyone was involved, including Bukayo. We have to take the decision in the afternoon on who starts and how many minutes we give.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth\u2019s Alex Scott, Fulham\u2019s Josh King, Arsenal\u2019s Ethan Nwaneri, and Liverpool’s Rio Ngumoha will return to the UK when the main squad flies to Kansas City at the weekend ahead of the Croatia game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nCosta Rica Team News<\/h3>\n

Hearts forward Kenneth Vargas, Warren Madrigal, and Alejandro Bran were dropped due to disciplinary reasons.<\/span><\/p>\nCosta Rica come into this game on the back of failing to qualify for the tournament and a 3-1 friendly defeat to Colombia last Tuesday.<\/p>\n
