England Injury Update: Key Trio Return to Training
Declan Rice, Marc Guehi, and Reece James all returned to training on Friday after missing Wednesday's session in Kansas City, boosting England's hopes ahead of their World Cup quarter-final against Norway. The trio are once again available for selection, leaving only Jordan Henderson sidelined after he underwent surgery for a broken arm sustained in the win over Mexico.
Guehi and Rice both played at the Aztec Stadium but have since struggled with a hamstring injury and illness respectively. James has not featured since the second group game due to a similar problem to his fellow defender, missing three consecutive matches for the Three Lions.
Weather Threat: Thunderstorms Forecast for Miami
AccuWeather senior meteorologist Chad Merrill has forecast thunderstorms for the Miami area around the time of the match on Saturday. Speaking to The Sun, he said: "During the midday to early afternoon, there will be a couple of thunderstorms in the Miami area. Those thunderstorms can produce a lot of lightning in Florida and brief heavy downpours. Then, by the later part of the afternoon, those thunderstorms will push west closer and farther into the peninsula."
Merrill added: "It's that time frame from midday through the early part of the afternoon where there will likely be some thunderstorms and lightning nearby for the match." The match is scheduled to kick off in the early afternoon local time, potentially facing disruption from severe weather.
Harry Kane Recalls Golf with Donald Trump
Harry Kane has recalled playing golf with US President Donald Trump in Florida 18 months ago, after returning to the state for England's match in Miami. Trump previously said: "I think Kane is a great player. I played golf with him, and I like him a lot. He's a good golfer, too. He's really great."
Kane responded: "When the President invites you somewhere, it was a pretty surreal experience just to meet him and obviously play golf with him. His golf is pretty good, to be honest with you. I hope I can play golf as well as him when I'm his age, that's for sure. A unique experience, but I was just grateful that he invited me to play."
Spain Reach Semi-Finals After Late Winner
Spain have advanced to their second-ever World Cup semi-final, where they will face France, after beating Belgium 2-1. Mikel Merino scored an 88th-minute winner for the 2010 champions after Senne Lammens, a Manchester United goalkeeper, spilled an ambitious effort from Pau Cubarsi straight to the Arsenal man. Lammens had been on the pitch barely 15 minutes after replacing the injured Thibaut Courtois, who left the pitch in tears.
