Marc Guehi has won his fitness race and is expected to start England’s World Cup quarter-final against Norway alongside a recalled John Stones in central defence.<\/p>\n
Manchester City defender Guehi suffered a minor hamstring strain in the win over Mexico and has missed training sessions this week.<\/p>\n
But he is set to be cleared to continue in the heart of England’s defence.<\/p>\n
He is expected to be playing alongside Stones in defence, who is set to be recalled into the starting XI for the first time since the opening game against Croatia.<\/p>\n
Ezri Konsa is set to be moved from centre-back to right-back.<\/p>\n
Declan Rice is fit to start despite a sickness bug that has hampered his involvement in the preparations for the game while Noni Madueke is expected to play ahead of Bukayo Saka in another change to the XI.<\/p>\n
Stones, 32, has been a substitute in all the subsequent matches since Croatia. However, he played a key role against Mexico, coming on for Saka on 57 minutes following Jarell Quansah’s red card.<\/p>\n
Expected England team: Pickford, Konsa, Guehi, Stones, O’Reilly, Anderson, Rice, Madueke, Gordon, Bellingham, Kane.<\/p>\n
