England Get World Cup Boost as Norway Hit by Illness Before Quarter-Final
Several Norway players have flu-like symptoms, and manager Stale Solbakken said the squad is managing the illness before Saturday’s quarter-final.
- Norway players have been affected by a sickness bug ahead of Saturday's FIFA World Cup quarter-final against England in Miami, though Manager Stale Solbakken confirmed the squad is recovering.
- Previous episodes affected striker Jorgen Strand Larsen and defender Marcus Holmgren Pedersen, with Solbakken attributing health issues to frequent travel, air conditioning, and shared changing rooms across North America.
- "We've had a few players who haven't been feeling well, but things are getting better," Solbakken said, noting that with over 50 people in the traveling group, some illness was statistically likely.
- England faces its own selection challenges, as defender Jarell Quansah is suspended and Jordan Henderson is expected to miss the remainder of the tournament, while Reece James is being assessed.
- Norway will enter its first-ever World Cup quarter-final aiming to continue a memorable campaign, with the winner of Saturday's match set to face Argentina, Egypt, Switzerland, or Colombia.
