Marc Guehi, Declan Rice and Reece James all took part in training on the eve of England\u2019s World Cup quarter-final with Norway in Miami.<\/p>\n

Guehi had been reported to be suffering from a hamstring injury, while vice-captain Rice has been struck by a stomach bug following last weekend\u2019s last-16 win in Mexico.<\/p>\n

However, they trained with the rest of the group at Inter Miami\u2019s training facilities on Friday, along with James, after the right-back missed England\u2019s last three matches with a hamstring issue.<\/p>\n

Jordan Henderson was the only player to miss out as he begins his recovery from wrist surgery following his fall during the celebrations at the Estadio Azteca.<\/p>\n

England boss Thomas Tuchel said: \u201cWe had everyone available in training, which we of course like.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the full choice except for our suspended player Jarell Quansah, so that\u2019s the good news.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Alan Shearer: Erling Haaland is the best No 9 in the world<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in terms of a nine, yes Haaland is the best striker in the world,\u201d Shearer told Betfair<\/a>. \u201cAll the big hitters who are at the top of the scoring charts, they’re all forwards, but they’re all very different. But what I would say with Haaland is, he’s probably the most out and out number nine, best in the world. Because Harry Kane’s not an out and out number nine, and Mbapp\u00e9’s not an out and out number nine, Messi’s not an out number nine. But as a number nine, as an old traditional forward as we know it, then yes, he is currently the best.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s very different. He’s not that bothered about it or it doesn’t affect him if he’s not involved in the game or he’s not having any touches. But he could go 89 minutes without having a touch and he could just have that killer finish and that’s what he loves and that’s what he enjoys.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Harry Kane reveals thoughts on Norway star Erling Haaland before World Cup clash<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, I think we are completely different players almost. I know we are both seen as strikers, but it is almost two different positions if I\u2019m totally honest.<\/p>\n

\u201cErling has been incredible, his goalscoring record. Physically, he\u2019s a machine, he\u2019s a beast. His finishing is at the highest level and obviously his goalscoring record speaks for itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see myself as a different player although I score the same goals. I like to maybe touch the ball a little bit more, be involved in play a little bit more but also can play as an out-and-out nine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it is one to compare ourselves. I respect him a lot as a player and a fellow professional, obviously hoping he has a quiet day tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis overall performances over these recent years speak for themselves. He\u2019s a fantastic player.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Nico O’Reilly refuses to believe Erling Haaland is the only problem between England and victory<\/p>\n

“No, not at all,” O’Reilly said when asked whether keeping Haaland \u200cquiet would effectively win England the game.<\/p>\n

“They’ve got great \u200bplayers all around the pitch who can cause a lot of danger. But of course, if we can keep him quiet, it would be a huge factor.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>Alan Shearer on how England can stop Haaland<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s the big question on Saturday; how do we nullify Haaland. I mean, Haaland to Norway is what Kane is to England. So, they’ll be asking the same question. How did they stop Harry Kane? Because they’ll feel if they stop him, they’ve got a much better chance of winning and vice versa with Haaland. It’s easier said than done. I used to go into games myself and I know that everyone was looking for me to score the goals, and I enjoyed that and I really embraced it. And these two will as well,\u201d Shearer told Betfair<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to hope that he has an off day because there’s not many players that can handle him. You’ve got to try and stop crosses going into the box, try and stop him at source, which means getting the ball into him. So, it’s not just the centre halves that have got to stop him, but the other players have got to stop the ball going into him.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>The next Messi vs Ronaldo?<\/p>\n

England defender Ezri Konsa believes Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland could cement a Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi-like rivalry over the next two decades.<\/p>\n

Asked by ITV if they might eventually mimic the profile of Ronaldo and Messi\u2019s storied rivalry, Konsa replied: \u201cIt very well could be. You\u2019ve got Neymar coming up as well, who is another top, top, top player, so in 15 years\u2019 time, I\u2019ll probably be sitting on my sofa watching Haaland or Jude being one of the two GOATs (greatest of all time) of world football.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Thomas Tuchel explains why England need to take another big step<\/p>\n

Thomas Tuchel is ready to take another big step as England look to overcome heat, humidity and Erling Haaland in their crunch World Cup quarter-final clash against Norway.<\/p>\n

After digging deep to beat the Democratic Republic of Congo and co-hosts Mexico, the back-to-back European Championship finalists are just three wins away from immortality.<\/p>\n

England take on Brazil\u2019s conquerors Norway in the Miami heat at Hard Rock Stadium seeking progress to Wednesday\u2019s semi-final against holders Argentina or surprise package Switzerland.<\/p>\n

Tuchel\u2019s men arrived in Florida buoyed by last weekend\u2019s unforgettable 3-2 triumph at the electric Estadio Azteca, but the head coach is only interested in tackling the next challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we took a big step in our last match, but it was only a step,\u201d the England boss said. \u201cWe\u2019re still hungry, we still have dreams, and we still have a big goal to play for.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next step is to win the quarter-final. It\u2019s important to look up front. We left this match behind.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take the positive things and the belief with us, but everything that matters is ahead of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
