England’s resources at right back are being tested ahead of the World Cup. Reece James was forced off with a right knee injury in the second half of Chelsea’s 2-0 win over AC Milan in the Champions League. Hours earlier Trent Alexander-Arnold was ruled out for two weeks by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp because of an ankle injury sustained in a Premier League game at Arsenal on Sunday. Kyle Walker is another option at right back and he underwent groin surgery last week to leave his World Cup ambitions in the balance. England opens its World Cup campaign on Nov. 21 against Iran.
