England's World Cup ambitions face a significant challenge as both Marc Guehi and Declan Rice emerge as doubts for the crucial quarter-final against Norway.

Guehi has been sidelined from training this week due to a sore hamstring, sustained during the thrilling victory over Mexico. Meanwhile, Rice, who has had a history of injury concerns, is also absent from the squad due to illness, raising alarms about a potential bug spreading among the players.

As England prepares for the match, they are set to train again late on Friday in Miami, with manager Thomas Tuchel confronted by several selection dilemmas. Notably, Jarell Quansah has already been ruled out after receiving a two-match suspension for a red card.

This disruption comes at a crucial time as England gears up to face a formidable Norwegian team that recently eliminated Brazil from the tournament. The Norwegians, buoyed by their success, boast star striker Erling Haaland, who is currently in outstanding form and looking to capitalize on any defensive weaknesses in England's lineup.
