The Three Lions may be facing a major squad setback.

Details: According to the Daily Mail, England could be dealt a significant blow ahead of their World Cup quarter-final showdown against Norway. Midfielder Declan Rice has been isolated from the squad after contracting a viral infection.

Reports indicate that Rice has been placed in quarantine as a precautionary measure to prevent the illness from spreading through the rest of the England camp.

Due to the illness, Rice has missed the last two training sessions, and his participation in tomorrow night's clash with Norway remains highly doubtful.

The coaching staff is closely monitoring the condition of one of the squad's key players and plans to make a final call on his readiness just before kick-off.
