Norway v England (Sat, 22:00 BST)
A lack of options, injuries and now a red card. It's been a nightmare for the Three Lions in the right back department.
Jarell Quansah's red card in England's 3-2 win over Mexico has left Thomas Tuchel with another selection dilemma ahead of Saturday's World Cup last-16 clash with Norway.
Thomas Tuchel previously said he was worried about his right-back position, which all started when Tino Livramento was forced to leave the squad with a calf issue before the World Cup began.
Reece James remains a major doubt after missing England's final training session ahead of the Mexico game.
The Chelsea defender has not featured in the past three matches after suffering a hamstring injury in the closing stages of the goalless draw with Ghana.
The 26-year-old has yet to train fully with the squad since picking up the injury and was the only player absent from Saturday's session in Mexico City.
The Football Association later confirmed he was following an individual training programme. There has been no update on James' condition since.
If James is unavailable and Quansah is suspended, Ezri Konsa could be the leading candidate to continue at right-back after filling in following Quansah's dismissal against Mexico.
That would likely see either Dan Burn or John Stones partner Marc Guehi in central defence.
Djed Spence is another option. He started at right-back against DR Congo before appearing off the bench against Mexico, although on his preferred left side.

Norway v England (Sat, 22:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Norwegian football player Markus Fjortoft told BBC News that playing England on Saturday is "the stuff of dreams" after his country waited 28 years to qualify for the tournament.
"We have a very romanticised relationship to English football since it was broadcast here in the 70s," said Fjortoft.
"English football and the English national team have always had a special place in our hearts. We've always tended to support England.
"For us as Norwegians to play England in a World Cup quarter-final, is the stuff of dreams.
"I think for the very first time, after beating Brazil, there's a small inkling that we can actually win the World Cup."

Fewest Prem goals conceded against Haaland - Villa and Newcastle. Two in 10 appearances. Konsa and Burn to start. Come on England, nothing to fear, go and win it.

As a Scotland fan, I enjoyed watching England last night. Lots of commitment all over the pitch. Just get Dan Burn on Haaland, that should do the trick!

England 'can play much better'- Tuchelpublished at 13:45 BST
Norway v England (Sat, 22:00 BST)
EnglandThomas Tuchel told BBC Sport that his England side are capable of playing better against Norway than they did against Mexico:
"I think we can play much better, there’s a lot we can do better.
"There's still a disconnect from us, from the best version of us that I see, from what we actually put on the pitch in terms of football, performance in terms of ball possession and finding spaces.
"There's no disconnect in committing and doing what is needed to overcome anything."

It’s unlikely England's defence will keep out Haaland, Messi and Mbappe, which may be the strikers of note [that they face] in next three games. So, the question will be: Can Kane and Bellingham outperform them? That’s possible, but doubtful.

Haaland will be the focus, but as a Fulham fan I think Berge at the base of midfield could be the weak point. He only ever moves at one speed and is not that physically imposing, Bellingham can harass all game and hopefully create something like the second goal last night.

BBC Sport Senior football correspondent speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live at Estadio AztecaEngland's game against Norway will be like a Premier League game.
Because a lot of the players in the Norwegian side like Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard play at top clubs in the Premier League.
That will be blood and thunder, it will be cut and thrust.
Like what you'd usually see on a Saturday afternoon in the Premier League.
I'm looking forward to that game a lot.

Saturday's World Cup quarter-final in Miami represents a chance for England to move level with Norway on two victories apiece in competitive matches.

'One hell of a beating' - Norwegian commentator's iconic rantpublished at 13:06 BST
Norway v England (Sat, 22:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesWhen it comes to competitive matches against England, Norway have won more than they have lost (won two, lost one and drawn one in four World Cup qualifiers).
The most famous - or perhaps infamous - came in a World Cup qualifier in September, 1981.
England had won the home fixture 4-0, continuing their unbeaten record against Norway, but fell to a first ever loss - 2-1 - in the reverse fixture in Oslo.
Cue Norwegian radio commentator Bjørge Lillelien and his iconic rant, taunting various prominent figures in English history:
"Lord Nelson! Lord Beaverbrook! Sir Winston Churchill! Sir Anthony Eden! Clement Attlee! Henry Cooper! Lady Diana! Maggie Thatcher - can you hear me, Maggie Thatcher? Your boys took one hell of a beating! Your boys took one hell of a beating!"

Former England striker on BBC Breakfast[Mexico striker Raul] Jimenez created quite a few chances, so with a player like Erling Haaland, he would probably have taken two or three of those chances.
They [Norway] are a solid team, but I think we have more than enough to win that game.

Norway v England (Sat, 22:00 BST)
Harry Kane's chances of winning the Golden Boot for a second time will increase with every game that England win.
Should the Three Lions come out on top against Norway on Saturday, that would limit Erling Haaland.
And former England front man Emile Heskey believes Thomas Tuchel's team have what it takes to get past Haaland and the Norwegians...
Kane chasing Golden Bootpublished at 12:51 BST
Norway v England (Sat, 22:00 BST)
The big guns continue to deliver at this World Cup.
Another goal from Harry Kane against Mexico means his Golden Boot dream remains very much alive.
What a tournament the England skipper is having.
But the competition to be the tournament's top scorer is fierce.
Erling Haaland moved level with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe on seven goals with a brace against Brazil.
Kane is one behind on six goals.
Messi has played a game less, so can steal a march on his rivals in Argentina's last-16 tie against Egypt on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham's two goals against Mexico saw him join a group of six players on four goals that includes France's Ousmane Dembele.
