Marc Guehi has won his fitness race after a minor hamstring strain and is expected to start England’s World Cup quarter-final against Norway alongside recalled John Stones in central defence, according to Yahoo Sports. Guehi missed training sessions this week after the win over Mexico, while Stones is set to return to the starting XI for the first time since the opening game against Croatia.
Ezri Konsa is expected to move from centre-back to right-back, Declan Rice is fit to start despite a sickness bug, and Noni Madueke is expected to play ahead of Bukayo Saka, who has been managed through the tournament with an Achilles tendinitis issue. Reece James is expected to be on the bench after returning to training, along with Djed Spence. The report noted Norway striker Erling Haaland has seven World Cup goals, one more than Harry Kane.
