England's Rice, Guehi, and James train ahead of Norway World Cup clash

England's World Cup preparations received a significant boost Friday as Declan Rice, Marc Guehi, and Reece James all returned to training ahead of their quarter-final match against Norway. The trio had missed practice earlier in the week due to various injuries and illness.

Reece James, the Chelsea captain, had been sidelined for the last three games with a hamstring injury. His return is a welcome development for coach Thomas Tuchel, who has faced limited options at right-back. James is expected to rejoin the starting lineup for Saturday's crucial match.

Marc Guehi and Declan Rice, who played the full match in England's previous 3-2 victory over Mexico, also returned to training after dealing with hamstring issues. Guehi, a Manchester City defender, will potentially face his club teammate Erling Haaland if he plays against Norway. Rice was also recovering from a hamstring problem and had been ill earlier in the week.

England will be without Jarell Quansah, who is suspended following a red card in the last-16 win. The team now looks to integrate the returning key players as they prepare for the challenging quarter-final.
