Marc Guehi and Declan Rice join England training ahead of Norway quarter-final
Marc Guehi, Declan Rice and Reece James all took part in training on the eve of England’s World Cup quarter-final with Norway in Miami.
Guehi had been reported to be suffering from a hamstring injury, while vice-captain Rice has been struck by a stomach bug following last weekend’s last-16 win in Mexico.
However, they trained with the rest of the group at Inter Miami’s training facilities on Friday, along with James, after the right-back missed England’s last three matches with a hamstring issue.
Jordan Henderson was the only player to miss out as he begins his recovery from wrist surgery following his fall during the celebrations at the Estadio Azteca.
England boss Thomas Tuchel said: “We had everyone available in training, which we of course like.
“We have the full choice except for our suspended player Jarell Quansah, so that’s the good news.”
Quansah was given a two-match ban following his red card against Mexico as it was deemed “serious foul play” under FIFA’s disciplinary code..
The versatile Bayer Leverkusen defender was given a straight red following a VAR review of his challenge on Jesus Gallardo during the second half at the Azteca.
Asked if he thought the extended ban may have something to do with his comments about the standard of refereeing after the Mexico game, Tuchel said: “I don’t think so, but we also have no explanation.”
