Reece James expected to return for England against Norway
Summary

England manager Thomas Tuchel anticipates Reece James will be available for the World Cup quarter-final against Norway on Saturday at 22:00 BST. James, who has missed recent matches due to a hamstring injury, has yet to return to full training. His availability comes after Jarell Quansah's suspension following a red card, which added to England's right-back concerns. The team has employed multiple players in the right-back position during the tournament, and the return of James would provide a significant boost ahead of the knockout tie in Miami.
