Reece James could return for England's World Cup match against Norway

Summary

England's Reece James might return from injury in time for their World Cup quarter-final against Norway on Saturday at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida. James has been sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained during a goalless draw with Ghana, missing subsequent matches. With Jarell Quansah ruled out due to a red card received during England's recent 3-2 victory over Mexico, his return would be a significant boost to England's defensive lineup. While Ezri Konsa and Djed Spence remain available, the potential availability of James is encouraging for manager Thomas Tuchel as the team aims to build on their recent win.
