Rice is eligible to face Norway despite picking up his second booking of the tournament in the opening minute of the Mexico game. This is because his previous yellow card, received during the goalless draw with Ghana, was wiped following the conclusion of the group stage. However, a caution on Saturday would see him serve an automatic one-match ban in the next round.
Bellingham finds himself in the exact same predicament. The Real Madrid superstar was shown a yellow card during the 2-1 win over DR Congo in the round of 32. If he is booked in Miami, he will be forced to watch from the sidelines should England progress. Manchester City defendersMarc Guehi andNico O’Reilly are also one card away from a semi-final suspension, adding to Tuchel's selection anxiety.
