England Stars Train Separately Before Norway Quarter‑Final

Managing workload for Rice, James and Guehi could determine England’s starting lineup for Saturday’s match.

Overview

  • England said on Wednesday that Declan Rice, Reece James and Marc Guehi followed individual training programmes at their Kansas City base instead of joining the full team session.
  • Rice is being monitored for a long‑running lower back/hamstring nerve problem he has carried since December and played through pain against Mexico.
  • Reece James remains a doubt after recurring hamstring soreness has already forced him to miss multiple England matches in the tournament.
  • Jarell Quansah received a straight red against Mexico and will be suspended for the Norway game while the FA is exploring whether to appeal the card.
  • Tuchel must weigh short‑term selection risks with player load and travel to Miami, and Jordan Henderson is recovering from wrist surgery sustained after the Mexico win.
