James is expected to be available for Saturday's World Cup quarter-final against Norway after recovering from a hamstring injury, according to manager Thomas Tuchel, per BBCMOTD.

James has missed England's last three matches after suffering the injury against Ghana during the group stage. The defender's expected return would provide a significant boost ahead of the knockout clash, as he remains one of the squad's top options at right-back when fully fit. Having resumed his recovery work over the past week, James now appears on track to rejoin the matchday squad. His availability could give coach Thomas Tuchel greater flexibility on the right flank against Norway.
