England vs. Norway: Lineups confirmed for World Cup quarter-final

England and Norway have finalized their lineups for a highly anticipated 2026 World Cup quarter-final clash. The match, set to take place in Miami, will see both teams aiming to advance in the tournament.

Key players on both sides are walking a disciplinary tightrope. England's Jude Bellingham, Marc Guéhi, Nico O’Reilly, and Declan Rice are all carrying yellow cards from previous matches. A further caution would rule them out of a potential semi-final. Norway's Antonio Nusa is the sole player in danger of suspension for his team.

There's a notable surprise in Norway's lineup, as Antonio Nusa is reportedly set to start on the bench. Andreas Schjelderup is expected to take his place, a tactical shift by coach Stale Solbakken aiming for more ball control in midfield. This means Erling Braut Haaland will likely partner Alexander Sørloth up front.

England faces forced changes in defense due to Jarrel Quansah's suspension. Ezri Konsa is expected to play at right-back, with John Stones coming into central defense alongside Marc Guéhi. Noni Madueke may also feature on the right wing, potentially replacing Bukayo Saka.

The players will also contend with Miami's intense heat, with temperatures around 33 degrees Celsius and a humidity that makes it feel much hotter. Organizers are monitoring the weather for potential thunderstorms that could cause delays.
