Jarell Quansah Withdraws From England Squad With Patella Tendon Issue Ahead of Latvia Qualifier

Tuchel declines a replacement to show faith in his current squad.

Overview

  • England confirmed the uncapped defender has left camp and returned to Bayer Leverkusen for assessment as a precaution.
  • Thomas Tuchel said Quansah pulled out of training with patella tendon inflammation, ruling him out of Tuesday’s qualifier in Riga.
  • Quansah’s wait for a first cap continues after multiple call-ups, including being an unused substitute in the 3-0 win over Wales.
  • Harry Kane’s ankle and Ollie Watkins’ knee are being monitored, with both remaining in camp and Watkins’ issue described by Tuchel as only painful.
  • An England win over Latvia could secure a 2026 World Cup berth depending on the Serbia vs Albania result.
