Scores, assists in third-place win Rice scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and two chances created in Saturday's 6-4 victory versus France.

Impact Rice took advantage of a defensive mistake to recover a ball and dribble towards the box before firing a well-placed strike in the third minute against France. Other than that, the midfielder did a great job on set pieces, with one of his corner kick crosses leading to the goal that doubled England's lead. He went through some struggles throughout the competition due to minor blows and an illness that limited his involvement, but overall he served as a big piece of his national squad, posting one goal and two assists and averaging a team-high 2.4 chances created per game.

Quiet in loss Rice generated one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 2-1 loss against Argentina.

Impact Rice was back in the starting XI despite being troubled by an illness, and put together a decent performance. The midfielder was brought off, as England looked to shut the match down, though that didn't work. Rice has been one of England's most important players throughout the World Cup, and should play a role against France in the third-place decider.

Ready to go Wednesday Rice (illness) is fully fit and available for Wednesday's clash with Argentina, England announced.

Impact Rice is back in full training and is fully fit for Wednesday's clash. The midfielder plays a huge role from open play and set-pieces and is expected to be a key part of the XI in the semi final. Rice was also a doubt coming into the quarter final, and was only able to play 45 minutes in the 2-1 win over Norway, so it's possible he will be rotated or limited even if he starts.

Struggles in 45-minute appearance Rice had three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Norway.

Impact Rice was healthy enough to start after recovering from illness and injury, and he took set pieces during his time on the pitch, but he was replaced by Eberechi Eze for the second half against Norway. The defensive midfielder has slowed down after a strong group stage, with his average dropping from 5.0 chances created per game in the first two matches to just 1.0 over three playoff rounds. He's still highly valuable for passes and corner kicks if he stays in the lineup, looking to bounce back in the final couple of World Cup contests.

JULY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Starting quarter final Rice (illness) is starting Saturday's clash with Norway.

Impact Rice was expected to recover from his illness in time to get the start Saturday and did just that. The midfielder is back in the starting XI and should be a key part of England's midfield throughout the match. Rice has started every match in the World Cup except a matchday three clash with Panama after the group was already decided.

Returns to training Friday Rice (illness) took part in training Friday and should be available for Saturday's quarterfinal showdown against Norway, Jack Pitt-Brooke of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rice missed training Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to participate with the rest of his teammates Friday, meaning he should be an option for the weekend. If Rice is deemed healthy by the coaching staff, and the latest reports seem to indicate he's trending in the right direction, he should remain in the starting lineup as a holding midfielder next to Elliot Anderson in Thomas Tuchel's 4-2-3-1 tactic.

Still not training, dealt illness Rice was not in training for a second consecutive day due to an illness, according to Sami Mokbel of the BBC.

Impact Rice was once again left out of training as the midfielder recovers from some lingering problems. The midfielder was dealing with a neural issue and is now confirmed to have an illness, making his symptoms worse. It appears this could be a concern, but with another day until their match, he does have time to recover, and the main focus remains on keeping the other players away from the illness, possibly the reason he is missing out. He should still be considered a starter for the team heading into Saturday, although that could quickly change if improvement doesn't come soon.

JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Misses training, still an option Rice was not training Wednesday as he does recovery work on a lower back injury, but is expected to still play against Norway on Saturday, according to John Cross of the Mirror.

Impact Rice is still dealing with a bit of pain in his back, a persistent issue this World Cup. That has led the midfielder to take training easy and do some recovery work instead of joining the team for training, although this is unlikely to force him to miss time. He should then return to his starting role when facing Norway on Saturday, a major part of the team they cannot do without, as he serves as their anchor in the middle of the pitch.

Two corners in 3-2 win Rice recorded one cross (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 3-2 victory over Mexico. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 1st minute.

Impact Rice was relatively quiet as England won 3-2 against Mexico to book their place in the quarter-finals against Norway and his fellow Arsenal teammate Martin Odegaard. He took two corners, which were his fewest in the tournament so far, with the previous lowest being five. He had to be careful in the game as he was booked within the first minute. He also made two blocks and clearance.

JULY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Starting as expected Rice (back) is part of England's starting XI to face Mexico on Sunday.

Impact Rice won't be forced to miss the World Cup round of 16 match after being questionable prior to the game. However, the central man has been playing through discomfort and may struggle to complete the full 90 minutes. Despite being tested as a full-back due to England's injury situation, Rice will feature in his regular midfield position, with Jarell Quansah operating in the wide defensive spot. The Arsenal player has excelled in creative duties throughout the tournament, averaging 4.0 chances created per game and providing one assist over three appearances.

Impact Rice has been soldiering through the issue throughout the World Cup, with manager Thomas Tuchel insisting there is no structural injury despite the significant discomfort. The Arsenal captain will aim to be fit enough to start against Mexico at altitude in Mexico City, with his availability considered likely despite the ongoing pain management. Jordan Henderson and Kobbie Mainoo would be the likely replacements if the Gunner can't make it.

'Even at 80% fit, he has to start!' - Micah Richards urges Thomas Tuchel to drop Noni Madueke and names England star who should replace him against Mexico

Playing through pain Rice is dealing with lower back and neural pain, which has affected his hamstrings, and is considered an injury doubt for the Round of 16 clash against Mexico on Sunday, John Cross...

Impact Even though Thomas Tuchel revealed "there's no injury" with Rice and that "I think he'll recover," it's worth mentioning that Rice has had fitness issues throughout the World Cup. The Arsenal star, who closed out the win over DR Congo at right-back due to tactical needs and a subpar showing from Djed Spence, will try to recover in time to start in a tough matchup against El Tri at the altitude of Mexico City. If Rice isn't fit enough to play, Jordan Henderson and Kobbie Mainoo would be logical replacements, though Morgan Rogers and Eberechi Eze could also be alternatives, as well as Reece James (hamstring), to play in the middle of the park.
