Declan Rice isolated from England squad due to illness ahead of Norway match

Summary

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is currently isolated from his England teammates after falling ill, as reported on July 10. The player missed two days of training because of a bug, prompting FA officials to take precautionary measures amidst the team's preparations for the World Cup quarter-final against Norway on Saturday. Rice is also managing hamstring and lower back issues, which had already delayed his pre-season return to Arsenal. The situation raises concerns about his availability for the upcoming match, though England's camp believes the illness is contained. If England advances, Rice will miss Arsenal’s pre-season matches planned for early August due to his World Cup commitments.
