Rice May Miss Quarter-Final as Illness Bug Hits England Camp

England face a significant selection headache ahead of the World Cup quarter-final against Norway on Saturday, with key defender Marc Guehi rated 50-50 due to a hamstring injury.
Guehi trained separately earlier this week and was restricted to walking on Thursday, while midfielder Declan Rice missed his second consecutive training session due to a persistent sickness bug.
If Guehi remains unavailable, Dan Burn is pushing for a starting spot, offering height and Premier League experience that could provide a sensible defensive alternative.
In positive news, first-choice right-back Reece James returned to full training for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury, though staff will assess his readiness this weekend.
Tuchel must prioritize the safest decision for the team, as England cannot afford an early injury that leaves them effectively playing with ten men before kickoff.
