WHAT HAPPENED? The Athletic have reported that Rice’s absence from the latest World Cup session was due to illness, meaning he joins Callum Wilson on the sidelines, with the Newcastle man still recovering from a minor strain that kept him out of Monday’s session. Raheem Sterling, who was forced to fly back to England after an armed break-in at his family home, is still away from the squad, with no news on his potential return.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: West Ham midfielder Rice has started each of England’s four World Cup games in Qatar, and has only missed around half an hour of football after being rested late on against Wales on matchday three.
