England's Rice, Guehi and James train separately as England prepare for Norway

England's preparations for their World Cup quarter-final clash against Norway have been disrupted by individual training routines for key players Declan Rice, Marc Guehi, and Reece James. The trio did not participate in the main squad's session on Wednesday, instead following personalized fitness programs, as confirmed by the team.

Reece James has been sidelined for the last three matches due to a hamstring injury sustained during England's group stage draw with Ghana on June 23. Declan Rice is currently managing a neural issue that impacted his hamstring and lower back towards the end of Arsenal's Premier League season. He was previously rested for England's group stage victory over Panama.

The team also faces potential suspensions, with several players on the brink of missing a semi-final should they receive another yellow card. Rice, along with Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Nico O'Reilly, are all walking a tightrope. Additionally, defender Jarell Quansah is already ruled out of the Norway match after his red card during the dramatic last-16 win against Mexico.
