England Star Suffers Setback: Thomas Tuchel Confirms Injury Concerns Ahead of World Cup

The manager of the English national team may have a new problem to address ahead of their upcoming match against Mexico on Sunday.

Rice, who has been a key player for the team, has been dealing with a hamstring injury and was forced to ask to come off the field in the team's previous match against DR Congo. According to the manager, Rice experienced "terrible pain" and was relieved to be taken off the field.

The manager acknowledged that Rice's injury is more related to nervous tension rather than a serious issue. He expressed hope that Rice will be able to recover in time for the upcoming match.
