Guehi and Rice set to be fit for Norway, while hope remains for James

[Getty Images] Manchester City defender Marc Guehi's absence from England training on Wednesday was precautionary and he is expected to be fit for Saturday's World Cup quarter-final against Norway. The centre-back raised concerns over his availability for the game in Miami after he was confirmed as one of four players - Jordan Henderson, Declan Rice and Reece James the others - who did not train in the squad's first session since Sunday's win over Mexico. It is understood Guehi's absence was because of muscular fatigue, but the issue is not thought to be serious. Arsenal midfielder Rice's absence is linked to the neural hamstring lower back problem that has hampered him throughout the tournament. But, like Guehi, the vice-captain is expected to be fit to face Norway. There also remains hope that Chelsea right-back James, who suffered a hamstring injury in the goalless draw with Ghana on 23 June, will be available.
