England faces a right-back crisis ahead of their World Cup quarter-final against Norway, with medics working to get Reece James fit. The Chelsea defender strained his hamstring two weeks ago against Ghana and has not trained with the squad in the US, though he participated in warm-ups on Sunday. His availability is uncertain, but his treatment is being fast-tracked due to limited options.

Other right-backs are unavailable: Djed Spence is not fully fit, and Jarell Quansah is suspended after a red card in the win over Mexico. Ezri Konsa finished that match at right-back and could start there, with John Stones potentially moving to center-back. England has used six different right-backs in five World Cup games this tournament.

In separate injury news, midfielder Jordan Henderson is out for the rest of the World Cup. He suffered a serious arm break after landing awkwardly following England's 3-2 victory over Mexico. Henderson remains hospitalized and may require surgery, ruling him out of the Norway clash and any potential further matches.
