- England midfielder Declan Rice trained with the squad on Tuesday, significantly boosting his chances of starting the World Cup semi-final against Argentina.
- Manager Thomas Tuchel expressed confidence in Rice's fitness, stating he is ready to start the crucial match in Atlanta despite recent health concerns.
- Rice had been unwell and bedridden for three days leading up to the quarter-final against Norway, where he was substituted at half-time, and has also been managing a persistent hamstring issue since Christmas.
- Tuchel confirmed that all players are fit to start, with the exceptions of Jordan Henderson, who missed training due to arm surgery, and Jarell Quansah, who is serving a two-match ban.
- Right-back Reece James is also pushing for a starting spot, having returned from a three-game hamstring absence as a second-half substitute against Norway.
