Reece James Misses 3rd England Session, Doubtful for Mexico as Quansah Returns

Summary
Reece James skipped England's final training session in Mexico City, leaving the 26-year-old right-back needing a late fitness check before Monday's World Cup last-16 match against Mexico.
A hamstring injury suffered late in the 0-0 draw with Ghana has already ruled James out of England's last two matches, and he has not fully trained with the squad since.
Jarell Quansah returned to full training and is available again after his own hamstring problem, giving Thomas Tuchel another option at centre-back or full-back.
That cover matters because Djed Spence started at right-back against DR Congo and Declan Rice finished that game there; Rice is also managing a hamstring issue but is expected to be available.
