England’s place in the knockout stages of the World Cup has been confirmed before they face Panama in their final group game on Saturday.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Three Lions sit on four points after two games – meaning they are at least guaranteed one of the eight third-placed qualification spots.<\/p>\n

Four other teams sit on four points – Sweden, Ecuador, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Paraguay – with four groups, including England’s still to wrap up.<\/p>\n

Uruguay’s defeat by Spain on Saturday was the result that confirmed the Three Lions’ place in the last 32. <\/p>\n

England made a winning start to the tournament by beating Croatia 4-2, before being held to a goalless draw by Ghana on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Thomas Tuchel has already confirmed Reece James will miss the final group fixture through injury, while Declan Rice sat out of Thursday’s training session.<\/p>\n

James, 26, suffered a hamstring issue in the goalless draw with Ghana on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Rice, meanwhile, who left Boston Stadium on Tuesday with strapping on his left calf, was also absent from Thursday’s session at England’s training base in Kansas City.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
