Appears as substitute Sunday
Spence (undisclosed) made five clearances and one interception over 16 minutes as a substitute in Sunday's 3-2 win over Mexico.
Analysis: Spence was unlikely to play because he had yet to achieve a full recovery from his injury, though his presence was required as a 10-man England side defended a one-goal lead in the final minutes of this game. The full-back will hope to be available to start in the next round against Norway, potentially returning in a right-back role that would be vacated following Jarell Quansah's red card, with Reece James (hamstring) still struggling with a fitness problem.
Unlikely to face Mexico
Spence suffered an injury in training and is not expected to be available for Sunday's Round of 16 game against Mexico, Rob Dorsett of Sky Sports reports.
Analysis: Spence had a subpar showing in the win over DR Congo in the Round of 32, to the point that Declan Rice (hamstring) finished the game at right-back. With Reece James (hamstring) also unlikely to feature Sunday, it seems either Rice or Jarrell Quansah (ankle) will get the nod on the right side of the England defense.
