England faces Argentina in the World Cup semi-final with only two players unavailable: Jordan Henderson and Jarell Quansah. Henderson is recovering from a broken arm sustained during the Mexico match, while Quansah is suspended after a red card in the same game.

Head coach Thomas Tuchel has selection dilemmas as he finalizes the starting lineup. Despite not fielding the same back four in consecutive matches, Tuchel may retain the defense that started the quarter-final against Norway. Ezri Konsa, John Stones, Marc Guehi, and Nico O'Reilly impressed in the 2-1 victory over Norway.

Declan Rice, whose preparation for the Norway game was hampered by illness, is expected to recover and start. He trained fully on Tuesday and is anticipated to feature in the match in Atlanta.
