England national team coach Thomas Tuchel revealed the imminent return of Reece James before facing Norway in the World Cup quarter-finals.
Reece James
Club: Chelsea
The England national team is suffering from a crisis in the right-back position, especially after Jarrell Quansah was sent off during the 3-2 victory over Mexico, which means his absence from the next match.
Tuchel said via the BBC network: "We expect Reece James to be available for the match against Norway."
James had suffered a hamstring injury during the match against Ghana in the group stage, and subsequently missed the matches against Panama, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Mexico.
Tuchel added: "There is progress in his condition, and we hope he returns to full training this week."
The right-back position has seen numerous changes during the tournament, with the participation of more than one player such as Ezri Konsa, Djed Spence, John Stones, and Declan Rice.
He continued: "We have options, but James's return will be very important for the team."
