England's Declan Rice has missed two consecutive days of training due to a sickness bug. The Arsenal midfielder had also been dealing with a lower back problem, which has been exacerbated by his illness in the build-up to the game against Norway.
To prevent the spread of the sickness bug, England has taken measures to isolate Rice from the rest of the squad. This comes after Norway also reported that illness had spread through their squad ahead of the match.
Norway's team doctor has played down the severity of the illness, stating that all players are now healthy. The doctor expressed confidence in the team's condition, having been together for almost six weeks.
Marc Guehi is also a doubt for the game against Norway due to a hamstring injury sustained in the win over Mexico. He will be assessed on Friday to determine his availability for the match.
Guehi and Rice are among the England players at risk of being suspended for the semi-final due to yellow card accumulation. Both players received yellow cards in the win against Mexico and will be banned if they receive another yellow card.
Other England players, including Jude Bellingham, are also at risk of suspension. Meanwhile, the team will be without Jarrell Quansah due to a two-game ban and Jordan Henderson for the remainder of the tournament due to a broken arm.
In more positive news, Reece James has returned to full training following a hamstring injury and is expected to be available against Norway.
