Early England Team News
England face serious selection headaches as defender Jarell Quansah is ruled out following his red card against Mexico, while midfielder Jordan Henderson is doubtful after suffering a severe wrist injury during the post-match celebrations. Right-back Reece James remains a major doubt with an ongoing hamstring injury.
Norway Team News
In contrast to their opponents, Norway boast a healthy squad with no fresh injury concerns reported following their gruelling match against Brazil. Full-back Julian Ryerson returned from a thigh injury to start in the previous round, meaning star striker Erling Haaland will have a fully fit supporting cast behind him.
