World Cup 2026: England defender Marc Guehi a serious doubt for quarter-final clash with Norway

England face injury and sickness concerns as they prepare for their World Cup quarter-final against Norway on Saturday in Miami. A hamstring strain has put Marc Guehi in serious doubt after he picked up the issue in the win over Mexico; he did not join the final training session in Kansas City, though coach Thomas Tuchel is still weighing whether he can start. If Guehi cannot play, Dan Burn is pushing for a place in the back line after coming on in the 75th minute at Estadio Azteca, making six clearances—the most by any substitute at a World Cup since records began in 1966. Declan Rice remains a concern following a stomach complaint after the trip to Mexico, but medical staff are expected to allow him to feature. Reece James’s hamstring issue has kept him out of training for almost three weeks, and Tuchel must decide with medical advice. Jarell Quansah is also suspended for two matches after a red card versus Mexico, ruling him out of the quarter-final.
