England doctors are working hard on Reece James in the hope that he can help England’s right-back crisis and play some role in Saturday’s World Cup quarter-final against Norway.
As things stand, it’s touch and go whether his hamstring issue will allow him to show up in Miami at all, but with few options on the right side of the defense, James’ treatment is being fast-tracked to try to get him ready.
The Chelsea full-back has not trained with his England teammates in the United States since straining his hamstring in the second group game against Ghana a fortnight ago, but instead of leaving the squad, he opted to stay in the hope of being fit for the final stages of the tournament.
He took part in the warm-up at the Azteca Stadium on Sunday, raising hopes that he is on the mend. And with Thomas Tuchel having significant problems at right-back, James has to be considered.
DZ Spence Still not fully fit despite coming on late against Mexico Jarrell Quansah That game is currently suspended after a second-half bye. The FA can still appeal that red card, with a decision expected later today.
Izri Consa Finished in the right-back position in the back five in Mexico City and is likely to start in the back four against Norway there. John Stones Coming to the defense center.
England have used six different right backs in five matches this World Cup.
