Centre-back Marc Guehi is at risk of missing England's World Cup quarter-final on Saturday against Norway as he tries to overcome a hamstring strain he suffered in the win over Mexico, according to several reports.

Guehi played no part in the final training session in Kansas City before the team flew to Miami for the game, but England coach Thomas Tuchel remains hopeful that he will be able to play.

The 25-year-old Manchester City defender was seen walking around the pitch at England's Swope Soccer training base on Thursday but did not join in with the team training sessions.

According to Sky Sports, the injury is not serious but Guehi has little time to prove his fitness.

The loss of Guehi would be an additional blow to England's defence after Jarell Quansah was banned for two matches as a result of the red card he received in the 3-2 victory against the Mexicans in the last 16, while Reece James is also a doubt in his race to return from injury.
