England have received a major boost ahead of their FIFA World Cup semi-final, with head coach Thomas Tuchel confirming that midfielder Declan Rice is fit to start against defending champions Argentina.
Speaking ahead of the highly anticipated clash, Tuchel dismissed concerns over Rice’s fitness, stating that the Arsenal midfielder is fully available for selection after recovering from a minor issue.
Rice has been a key figure in England’s World Cup campaign, providing defensive stability and leadership in midfield as the Three Lions progressed to the last four.
England will face a formidable Argentina side aiming to defend their world title, with a place in the final against Spain at stake. Rice’s availability is expected to strengthen England’s chances in what promises to be one of the tournament’s biggest encounters.
The semi-final will see England attempt to reach their first World Cup final since 1966, while Argentina look to move one step closer to retaining the trophy
