WORLD CUP | Norway Camp Hit With Sickness Bug Ahead of England Clash

Norway said several players have been affected by a sickness bug ahead of their World Cup quarter-final against England on Saturday in Miami, with coach Stale Solbakken saying the situation is improving, according to Yahoo Sports. Striker Jorgen Strand Larsen missed Norway’s opening match after falling ill, and defender Marcus Holmgren Pedersen was unavailable for the round-of-16 win over Brazil for the same reason. Norway, led by Erling Braut Haaland, reached the last eight after beating Brazil, with Haaland scoring twice and taking his tournament total to seven goals. England advanced with a 3-2 win over Mexico but will be without suspended defender Jarell Quansah after his red card and midfielder Jordan Henderson due to a broken wrist, while Reece James could return after a hamstring issue.
