Reece James, Declan Rice and Marc Guehi missed England team training on Wednesday in Kansas City. The absences come ahead of Saturday’s World Cup quarter-final against Norway in Miami. Jordan Henderson was also not present as he recovers from surgery.
The three players followed individual training programmes while the rest of Thomas Tuchel’s squad trained normally. England’s medical staff will monitor their fitness closely in the coming days.
James’ absence raises concerns at right-back, where England have already faced multiple issues during the tournament. Tino Livramento withdrew before the event, and other options have been limited by injuries and suspensions.
Rice and Guehi completed 120 minutes in the last-16 win over Mexico and are being managed accordingly. Henderson continues his recovery after breaking his arm during post-match celebrations.
