Reece James is a doubt for England’s World Cup quarter-final against Norway in Miami on Saturday after he was once again unable to train with the squad on Wednesday.

The right-back has been unavailable since he injured a hamstring in England’s second group game, the 0-0 draw against Ghana in Boston. Thomas Tuchel knew he would be without him for at least two games – and most likely a potential last‑16 match, as well, which is what happened. James played no part in the epic victory against Mexico at the Estadio Azteca on Sunday.
