Guehi's absence would weaken England's central defensive options, potentially forcing Thomas Tuchel to turn to alternative centre-backs. Rice's illness is a midfield blow given his role as a deep-lying playmaker and ball-winner. Combined availability concerns could prompt tactical adjustments and a reshuffled starting XI for the Norway fixture.
