Marc Guehi is expected to start for England in their World Cup quarter-final match against Norway, having recovered from a minor hamstring strain. The defender sustained the injury during the match against Mexico and missed subsequent training sessions, but he has reportedly passed a fitness test and is cleared to play.
Guehi is anticipated to form the central defensive partnership with John Stones, who is set to be recalled to the starting XI for the first time since England's opening game against Croatia. Stones, 32, had been a substitute in all matches following the Croatia game. Ezri Konsa is expected to shift from center-back to right-back. Declan Rice is also fit to play despite a sickness bug that affected his preparation, and Noni Madueke is likely to feature ahead of Bukayo Saka, indicating another change to the team.
The expected England lineup for the quarter-final includes Pickford in goal, Konsa and Guehi in defense, with Stones joining Guehi in the center. Anderson and Rice are expected in midfield, with Madueke and Gordon on the wings. Bellingham is also expected to feature, with Kane leading the attack.
