Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is being isolated from his England teammates due to illness, according to the Daily Mail.
The Gunners star played through the pain barrier last term and is currently suffering from hamstring and lower back issues.
Rice is set to report late for pre-season with Arsenal due to his World Cup engagement.
The England international has recently gone down with a bug, and officials have taken steps to isolate him from the main group.
It is an attempt to contain what could be a potentially damaging outbreak as the Three Lions prepare to take on Norway in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
Rice has missed two days of training due to the sickness.
It is unclear whether he will be available to feature against Norway, but people in the England camp are confident the illness has been contained.
Arsenal will begin their summer preparation in Girona on August 1 and are set to be without Rice, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke.
Players involved in the World Cup will begin a three-week holiday after they are eliminated from the competition.
The England quartet will almost certainly miss the second pre-season game against Real Betis on August 5 if England advance to the semi-finals.
Norway’s Martin Odegaard, France’s William Saliba, Spain’s David Raya, Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino and Belgium’s Leandro Trossard are also set to be unavailable for the start of pre-season.
Spain take on Belgium tonight for a place in the semi-finals, while France booked a spot in the last four following a 2-0 victory over Morocco last night.
