Norway vs. England

Marc Guéhi, England - Hamstring

Marc Guéhi has returned to full training and is back in contention to start England's World Cup quarterfinal against Norway after recovering from a hamstring issue sustained in the Round of 16 victory over Mexico. The Manchester City defender missed training on Wednesday and Thursday but rejoined the main group during Friday's session in Miami. England's medical staff do not believe the injury is a significant strain, and his participation in the final pre-match workout is an encouraging sign. While manager Thomas Tuchel will make the final decision based on his fitness, Guéhi is trending toward being available to start against Norway.

Declan Rice, England - Illness/Hamstring

Declan Rice is expected to be available for England's World Cup quarterfinal against Norway after returning to full group training on Friday. The Arsenal midfielder missed consecutive training sessions earlier in the week after contracting a viral stomach illness following England's Round of 16 win over Mexico. Rice has also continued to manage a lingering neural issue causing hamstring and lower back discomfort throughout the tournament. His return to full training indicates he has recovered sufficiently and is on track to start in Saturday's quarterfinal.

Jordan Henderson, England - Wrist

The 36-year-old midfielder is officially out for the rest of the World Cup after a bizarre accident following England's 3-2 victory over Mexico. While jumping over an advertising hoarding to celebrate with fans at the Azteca Stadium, Henderson tripped, fell awkwardly, and suffered a severe broken bone/fracture in his forearm and wrist. He was stretchered off, received oxygen on the pitch, and remained hospitalized in Mexico City for surgery while the rest of the squad flew back to Kansas City.

Reece James, England - Hamstring

Reece James has returned to full training and is in contention to play in England's World Cup quarterfinal against Norway after recovering from a hamstring strain sustained during the group-stage draw with Ghana. The Chelsea right-back missed England's knockout victories over DR Congo and Mexico while completing an accelerated rehabilitation program. After sitting out early-week training sessions, James rejoined the squad for full training on Thursday and Friday. Barring any late setback during his final fitness checks, he is expected to be available for selection against Norway.

Jarell Quansah, England - Suspended

Will miss England's next two World Cup matches after receiving a two-match FIFA suspension for serious foul play. The defender was shown a straight red card for a high tackle against Mexico in the Round of 16, and FIFA's disciplinary committee upheld the ban. As a result, Quansah will be unavailable for England's World Cup quarterfinal against Norway and, should England advance, the semifinal as well.

Norway

Norway has no major injury concerns, but they have been managing a cold-like virus and sickness bug that spread through their camp earlier in the week. Despite initial fears, the Norway team doctor has officially confirmed that all players have recovered and are healthy ahead of Saturday's World Cup quarter-final.

Argentina vs. Switzerland

Facundo Medina, Argentina - Cramps/Fatigue

Facundo Medina avoided a serious injury after being forced off in the 86th minute of Argentina's Round of 32 victory over Cape Verde with severe cramps and fatigue. Head coach Lionel Scaloni confirmed the issue was not a muscle tear or structural injury, attributing it to exhaustion after Medina's demanding workload. As a precaution, Medina did not start against Egypt in the Round of 16, with Nicolás Tagliafico filling in at left back. He returned as a stoppage-time substitute in the 90+5th minute to help protect Argentina's late lead, with no new injury concerns reported.

Johan Manzambi, Switzerland - Knee

Johan Manzambi has been ruled out of Switzerland's World Cup quarterfinal against Argentina as he continues to recover from a knee injury sustained in training before the Round of 16. The 20-year-old also missed Switzerland's victory over Colombia, and head coach Murat Yakin confirmed he will not be available for Saturday's match. Manzambi's absence is a significant blow to the Swiss attack after his breakout tournament, during which he recorded three goals and two assists in 200 World Cup minutes.

Semi-Finals

France vs. Spain

Kylian Mbappé, France - Ankle

Kylian Mbappé is expected to be available for France’s World Cup semifinal after sustaining a minor ankle injury during the 2-0 quarterfinal victory over Morocco. The forward went down in the 76th minute after taking a hard challenge earlier in the match and was substituted as a precaution before receiving treatment on the bench. Mbappé later downplayed the issue, saying he was “completely fine.” No significant injury concerns have been reported, and he is expected to play in the semifinal.

Aurélien Tchouaméni , France- Groin/Thigh

Aurélien Tchouaméni continues to make progress in his recovery from a groin/thigh injury that has sidelined him for France's last two World Cup matches. The midfielder missed both the Round of 16 against Paraguay and the quarterfinal victory over Morocco but has resumed portions of team training. With several days remaining before France's semifinal against Spain, the medical staff is optimistic he could be available for selection if he continues to progress without setbacks.

Nico Williams, Spain - Groin

Nico Williams has fully recovered from the groin injury he suffered during Spain’s group-stage match against Uruguay. The winger was cleared by the medical staff and returned to action in Spain’s quarterfinal victory over Belgium, playing the final 12 minutes without any setbacks. Williams is now fully available for selection ahead of Spain’s World Cup semifinal against France.

Yéremy Pino, Spain - Left AC Joint/Collarbone

Yéremy Pino remains sidelined with an acromioclavicular joint sprain near his left collarbone and did not feature in Spain’s quarterfinal. Although the injury was initially feared to be tournament-ending, scans confirmed there was no fracture. Pino is continuing to train individually away from the main squad as he works toward a possible return before the end of the World Cup.
