England are ready for their World Cup 2026 quarter-final against Norway – which is taking place amid sweltering heat and thunderstorm warnings in Miami – and Thomas Tuchel has made a number of big calls over team selection.Ezri Konsa starts at right-back ahead of the recovering Reece James, with Jarell Quansah ruled out of the last-eight clash after receiving a two-match ban for his red card against Mexico, while Marc Guehi is fit enough to take his place at centre-back alongside John Stones. Another injury doubt, Declan Rice, also starts at the heart of midfield, and Noni Madueke will be on the right of attack instead of Bukayo Saka, with Anthony Gordon keeping his place on the left.England fended off co-hosts Mexico on enemy soil in one of England’s all-time great World Cup performances last time out but will again need to play well to beat 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 the action from the World Cup quarter-final with our live blog below:Jordan Henderson available for England in possible semi-final?“It's alright, not my finest hour, main job was to go there and win,” Jordan Henderson says after his horror injury in the aftermath of England’s win over Mexico. “That's the main thing. A tough couple of days, as soon as I came back, the lads, a great medical team, the doctors and surgeons were amazing, delighted to be part of the squad again today.“I think it's the same thing we showed, the resilience and character, a lot of obstacles to overcome, a lot of very good players, the best version of ourselves, I’m confident we can go through.“It's a challenge [to stop Haaland], but they've got a lot of top players, they're a top team. We'll cross that bridge [playing in a semi-final or final] when we come to it.”Jack Rathborn11 July 2026 21:18Tuchel explains Ezri Konsa selectionThomas Tuchel has been chatting to ITV and explained his thinking behind selecting Ezri Konsa.“We lost another right-back, in Jarell [Quansah], Reece [James]is available, but maybe not for 90 minutes. I'd like to have him as an option,” said Tuchel.“Ezri played for us at the highest level, that's the thinking.”On Stones and Guehi, Haaland’s club teammates, starting: “They know him, but he knows them as well, that's the goal, to stop their front line and Erling, Sorloth. We want to be a strong team from set-pieces.”On what he wants from his team: “We want to spend more time in the opponent's half. We can be better in a high press, deep build-up, to overcome the opponent's high press. Spend more time in their half, especially in these conditions.”(PA)Luke Baker11 July 2026 21:14Kane: 'My main goal is to win the World Cup, not the Golden Boot'The Golden Boot race is a fascinating sub-plot to this World Cup.But Harry Kane says it isn’t even on his radar, with winning the World Cup itself his main goalLuke Baker11 July 2026 21:06Jordan Pickford breaking recordsJordan Pickford makes history tonight as he becomes England’s all-time leading appearance maker at the World Cup.This is his 18th outing at the tournament, taking him beyond fellow goalkeeper Peter Shilton.A great moment for England’s No 1(PA)Luke Baker11 July 2026 21:00Norway team news - Sorloth and Ryerson over Nusa and BobbSome interesting selection calls from Norway, who look like they may be lining up in a 3-4-3.They have flip-flopped on their starting wingers at this tournament and today they’ve opted for the giant Alexander Sorloth (who would be starting up front but for Erling Haaland) and Julian Ryerson.
