England is set to compete in the World Cup quarter-finals against Norway on Saturday, July 11. This match follows England's narrow 3-2 victory over Mexico in the round of 16. Norway emerged as a surprise contender, having defeated Brazil 2-1, with Erling Haaland scoring twice.

England's Jarell Quansah is suspended for two matches, while Reece James is returning from a hamstring injury, and Marc Guehi is a doubt with a similar issue. Declan Rice is also recovering from illness, and Jordan Henderson has undergone surgery for a broken wrist.
Norway also faces some concerns, with David Moller Wolfe having trained despite an earlier injury and Marcus Holmgren Pedersen having missed the last game due to illness.
