Summary
Marc Guehi is a major doubt for England's World Cup quarter-final against Norway after scans showed a slight hamstring strain following the win over Mexico.
Friday's training will be decisive: if Guehi cannot join the squad, Thomas Tuchel is unlikely to risk a defender against Norway's seven-goal Erling Haaland.
Declan Rice has also missed a second straight day of training with a sickness bug, compounding an existing neural issue affecting his hamstring and lower back.
Reece James offered England some relief by returning to full training for the first time since his own hamstring injury, though coaches still must decide whether he can start on Saturday.
