Guehi could miss Norway game with hamstring injury

England defender Marc Guehi is managing a slight hamstring injury and could miss the World Cup quarter-final against Norway. The Manchester City centre-back complained of a muscle issue following England's win over Mexico, and it is now understood he has a hamstring strain. His ability to train on Friday will determine his availability for the match against Norway, which features the prolific striker Erling Haaland. The issue is not considered serious, but England head coach Thomas Tuchel cannot afford to take fitness risks with defenders. In other team news, midfielder Declan Rice has missed a second successive day of training due to a sickness bug affecting his hamstring and lower back. However, there is positive news as first-choice right-back Reece James has returned to full training for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury. James did not complete the entire session but is expected to be available for the Norway game if he feels no ill effects. The coaching staff will decide whether he is fit to start or should be on the substitutes' bench.
