England are gearing up for their World Cup quarter-final against Norway tonight after positive news regarding two potential fitness doubts of Marc Guehi and Declan Rice.Thomas Tuchel looked set to be forced to rejig his defence, making changes to the side that fended off co-hosts Mexico on enemy soil in one of England’s all-time great World Cup performances last time out. Guehi has been nursing a hamstring strain picked up at the Estadio Azteca, while Rice – who has had his own injury issues of late – was kept away from the squad with illness amid fears a bug could spread – but both returned to training on Friday and could be set to feature.Tuchel was already facing selection headaches with Jarell Quansah ruled out of the last-eight clash after receiving a two-match ban for his red card against Mexico. Any potential defensive disruption would be far from ideal against Erling Haaland and co. – Norway knocked out Brazil in their last outing, and are rowing along a wave of positivity at this tournament.Follow all of the latest ahead of the World Cup quarter-final with our live blog below:Norway team news after illness strikesSeveral of the Norway squad are shaking off a virus, even if manager Stale Solbakken, along with the team doctor, has played down stories of a widespread illness making its way through the changing room.
