LeBron James will miss at least two games due to a hamstring injury.

England have been hit by injuries as key right-back Reece James will miss at least the next two World Cup matches due to a hamstring injury.

The Chelsea captain felt muscle tightness after Tuesday's match against Ghana, subsequently missing Friday's training session and not traveling with the team to New York for Saturday's crucial group stage match against Panama. He will also miss the subsequent round of 32 if England advance.

Head coach Thomas Tuchel, speaking about James' injury, said, "We think it's a minor hamstring injury. He's been unable to participate in training for the past two days."

“He is currently in an accelerated recovery program, and we will treat each game individually, but we firmly believe he will be able to be of use to us in this tournament. Nobody could have predicted this; Reese was in very good form and feeling very well before.”

Because James had a history of injury to this area, which caused him to miss two months in March, playing two full matches in a row during the World Cup, a tournament with a tight schedule, put him at great risk.

Regarding the shortage of players in the full-back position, Tuchel added: "It's a bit unfortunate, but since Kwansa can also play at a high level for us in that position, it's still not a problem. We will find a solution, and that's what we're doing."

Currently, the England team is actively helping James with his rehabilitation and hopes that he can recover from his injury and return to the team later in the season.
