“He’s making a lot of changes to it,” says ITV pundit Gary Neville on Thomas Tuchel’s team selection.
“He said before the tournament that he wanted 14 or 15 starters and he’s on starter number 17 already.
“The one position I think I am pretty qualified to speak on is right-back and if you had said to me a couple of months ago that Quansah would be playing right-back for England in a tournament, I would say something has gone badly wrong.
“He’s picked Reece James and [Tino] Livramento, players who are injury prone. He’s not brought Trent Alexander-Arnold, who obviously is someone with world-class quality, for what reasons we can only imagine.
“That is where we are right now, England will win this group and win this game but there is some turbulence in there.
“Djed Spence is the only real option at right-back. Quansah is not an option going into the games further into the tournament.
“So I think the reasons he has probably done it today is he is thinking: ‘Look, we can handle Panama, Quansah can play there and Spence can come in for the [round of] 32.'”
