Rice in bed for nearly three days before Norway game - Tuchel

England manager Thomas Tuchel revealed that midfielder Declan Rice spent nearly three days in bed with sickness before the World Cup quarter-final against Norway. Despite his illness, Rice started the match in the stifling heat of Miami Stadium but was substituted at halftime for Eberechi Eze. Tuchel explained that the decision was made to preserve a substitution, as Rice could not have lasted 90 minutes, let alone potential extra time. England fell behind to an Andreas Schjelderup goal, but Jude Bellingham equalized before halftime and later scored the winner in extra time, securing a 2-1 victory. The win sets up a semi-final clash against Argentina, scheduled for July 15. Tuchel also noted that defender Ezri Konsa struggled with cramps, and Rice had been dealing with a neural issue affecting his hamstring and lower back, which was worsened by his illness.
