Inner tube sizes - will it cause problems?

Recently had a p******re issue and bought some replacement tubes

Got them delivered yesterday and they're a different size to the one I'm replacing;

Currently using Continental Race 28 700 x 20-25

New ones are Continental Race 28 700 x 25-32

Tyres are 25mm so at the top end of the current ones and bottom end of the new ones

Will I have any issues running the larger tubes?

They'll be a few grams heavier if that kind of thing bothers you.

You may find them a bit trickier to get into the tyre without pinching if you struggle with that kind of thing. On the upside they'll be slightly easier to fit a patch on.

I always seem to run tubes slightly undersize relative to my 25mm tyres.

A few grams doesn't bother me

I'm a 93kg rugby player so if there's any weight to be saved I'll be where it comes from!

Fitted it last night and it's remained inflated overnight so I managed to avoid any pinching by the looks of it.

Cheers,
