England Prepare for Quarter-Final Clash With Norway
England take on Norway in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals with a place in the last four at stake, as manager Thomas Tuchel weighs his options following concerns over Marc Guehi's fitness.
The Three Lions reached the quarter-finals after a dramatic 3-2 victory over Mexico, while Norway advanced with an impressive win over Brazil led by Erling Haaland.
England are monitoring defender Marc Guehi after he picked up a knock in the previous round. The coaching staff will make a late decision on his availability, with defensive reinforcements on standby if he is unable to start.
Tuchel is expected to rely on experienced leaders Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham as England look to secure another semi-final appearance.
Norway captain Erling Haaland has dismissed suggestions that the pressure of leading his country on football's biggest stage will affect his performance.
The striker, who scored twice against Brazil in the Round of 16, said he relishes major occasions and is determined to help Norway continue their remarkable World Cup campaign.
