England vs Norway World Cup Quarter-Final: Rice and Guehi Fit to Play
England vs Norway: Rice and Guehi Fit for World Cup Clash

England take on Norway in the World Cup quarter-finals at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, with both Declan Rice and Marc Guehi passed fit to play. The Three Lions aim to reach the semi-finals, where they would face either holders Argentina or surprise package Switzerland.

Team News and Fitness Boost

Thomas Tuchel received a major boost as Rice recovered from a stomach bug and Guehi overcame a hamstring injury, both training in Florida on Friday. Reece James is also available after his own hamstring issue. Jordan Henderson's World Cup is effectively over due to injury, and Jarell Quansah is suspended. England are otherwise at full strength.

Weather and Match Conditions

The match is being played in 33-degree Celsius heat, with forecasts of potential thunderstorms. The extreme conditions could lead to delays or suspensions during the game. England are seeking their first World Cup trophy since 1966, having beaten DR Congo and co-hosts Mexico in previous rounds. Norway's key threat is Erling Haaland, while Jude Bellingham has been England's standout player.
