Declan Rice and Reece James will be assessed in the coming days as England prepare for their final group stage match against Panama, with Thomas Tuchel’s side already dealing with the fallout of a mixed start to the 2026 World Cup. The Three Lions opened their campaign with a 4-2 win over Croatia — arguably their toughest opponents on paper — before being held to a 0-0 draw by Ghana in Boston. Now, with Panama up next in Group L this weekend, the fitness of two key players has become a fresh concern.
The injury news broke as Amazon launched a dedicated World Cup store as part of its Prime Day deals, offering football fans discounts on thousands of items until 11.59pm on Friday, June 26. The deals are available exclusively to Prime members or those on a 30-day free trial, and include everything from a LEGO Lionel Messi set to a 4K TV projector. Among the standout offers is the adidas World Cup 26 Trionda Football — fans can also pick up the Pro Football for £84.69, down from £95.76, and cheaper than its £130 price tag at adidas. For those watching at home, the 55-inch Hisense 4K Ultra HD Smart TV is available at Amazon or Currys for the same price. One five-star review described it as having “amazing” image quality and easy setup, with the VIDAA app allowing phone control when the remote is lost.
“Declan Rice and Reece James face fitness tests before England's World Cup clash with Panama.”
But while fans scramble for last-minute deals to enhance their World Cup experience, the focus in the England camp remains on the pitch. Rice and James face assessments ahead of the Panama fixture, with Tuchel hopeful of having both available. The match is the final hurdle before the knockout rounds, and any absences would be a blow to a squad that has shown resilience but also room for improvement after the goalless draw with Ghana. The Prime Day window closes hours before the game, leaving supporters little time to decide between upgrading their home setup and worrying about their team’s fitness.
Amazon’s World Cup store also features the Wieleo Smart Projector, which promises a cinematic experience by connecting to iOS devices, Nintendo Switch and PS5 — though the caveat is that it delivers 1080p resolution rather than true 4K. Still, for those unable to travel to the US to cheer on the Three Lions in person, it offers a way to bring the tournament into the living room. The deals end at midnight Friday, meaning the clock is ticking on both the shopping and the injury news.
