Summary
England will make a late decision on whether Declan Rice is fit to start the World Cup semi-final against Argentina. Head coach Thomas Tuchel admitted afterwards that Rice had spent three days in bed before the match, which England won 2-1 after extra time. But given the severity of the illness, England medics are set to make a late call on his availability.
Furthermore, Rice has already overcome lower back problems which have affected his hamstrings and caused him issues in this tournament.

As things stand, there is growing hope he will be well enough to start in Atlanta.
In addition, Rice is a crucial player for England and had to be substituted at half time against Norway because of the illness. Rice has been a key player under Tuchel who has also made him his vice-captain and leans on him as an experienced and key player.
