MIAMI, July 11 : Ezri Konsa starts at right back for England in place of the suspended Jarell Quansah in Saturday's World Cup quarter-final against a Norway side featuring one change from the team that beat Brazil in the last 16. 

• Quansah was banned for two matches after being shown a red card in England's last-16 match against Mexico.

• Konsa finished the Mexico game at right back and has been preferred to specialist Djed Spence. John Stones replaces Konsa in the centre of defence.

• Noni Madueke replaces Bukayo Saka on the right wing with Anthony Gordon retaining his spot on the left flank.
