England is hopeful that defender Reece James will be able to return to training this week, potentially making him available for Saturday's World Cup quarter-final match against Norway in Miami. James, who captains Chelsea, has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since England's draw with Ghana and has missed the last three games.
In addition to James' potential return, the team is also monitoring the condition of Djed Spence. Daily Mail Sport understands that Spence experienced pain in his lower leg after leaving the Azteca Stadium. If Jarell Quansah's one-match ban is upheld, Spence would be a candidate to start at right-back.
Manager Thomas Tuchel will be closely observing Spence's post-match discomfort as the squad prepares to travel to Miami on Thursday. The Football Association is considering an appeal against Quansah's red card, which was issued in the 54th minute of England's 3-2 victory over Mexico in the round of 16 following a VAR review for a challenge on Jesus Gallardo. Internal discussions regarding an appeal are ongoing, with all options being explored by the FA.
The FA's consideration of an appeal comes in the context of a previous FIFA decision regarding USA striker Folarin Balogun's red card against Bosnia-Herzegovina, which was rescinded following intervention from President Donald Trump.
