The England boss may make one or two changes to the side that beat Croatia 4-2, with both Marc Guehi and Marcus Rashford pushing to start ahead of John Stones and Anthony Gordon.<\/p>\n Ghana will welcome back one player to their squad, but could be missing another through injury. This is after midfielder Thomas Party was finally granted access to North America. The former Arsenal player was denied entry to Canada after failing to disclose ongoing criminal proceedings in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n Goalkeeper\u00a0<\/span>Lawrence Ati Zigi could be missing after he was injured in the Panama game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Pickford<\/p>\n Konsa<\/p>\n Guehi<\/p>\n James<\/p>\n Spence<\/p>\n Rice<\/p>\n Anderson<\/p>\n Bellingham<\/p>\n Gordon<\/p>\n Madueke<\/p>\n Kane<\/p>\n Asare<\/p>\n Adjetey<\/p>\n Mensah<\/p>\n Opoku<\/p>\n Senaya<\/p>\n Yirenki<\/p>\n Partey<\/p>\n Sibo<\/p>\n Semenyo<\/p>\n Ayew<\/p>\n Williams<\/p>\n During his pre-match press conference, England boss Thomas Tuchel explained that defensively, his team must improve from the first game against Croatia. He said<\/a>:\u201cDefensively, we dropped a little too deep from a middle block into a low block and deep block, which is in itself not a problem, but we went a bit too early. We were a bit too man-man focused and didn\u2019t rely enough on our structure to be able to push out again.<\/span><\/p>\n Maybe it is good that we conceded, because it just tells us: \u2018Let\u2019s not do this again.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBut I was also very clear to the team: we deserved this win. We had a well-deserved win. And we have a lot of positives to take away, and I expect a very different team and a very different setup now.<\/span><\/p>\n Former Manchester United assistant and Real Madrid and Portugal manager Carlos Queiroz believes that games against the likes of England are the easiest. He said<\/a>: \u201cThis is the easiest type of game, because when you\u2019re about to play against England, France or Germany, you don\u2019t need to say anything to the players. They\u2019re fully motivated. Everybody is fully switched on and everybody wants to perform well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nEngland vs Ghana Confirmed Lineups and Team News<\/h2>\n
