07/11 14:46 CDT Stones, Guehi in England lineup against Man City teammate and
Norway star Haaland

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) --- John Stones returned to England's starting lineup
for its World Cup quarterfinal against Norway on Saturday, essentially taking
the spot that was held for the last three matches by suspended defender Jarell
Quansah.
The move puts a pair of Manchester City defenders --- Stones and Marc Guehi ---
in England's opening 11 against Norway star striker Erling Haaland, who also
plays for the same club.
Quansah is starting a two-game ban issued after he got a red card in the round
of 16 win over Mexico. Stones has not started for England since its opening
game of the World Cup. Another switch for England: Noni Madueke is back on the
wing, sending Bukayo Saka to the bench.
Norway made a switch to its lineup as well, adding midfielder Andreas
Schjelderup --- who came off the bench to register the assist on both of
Haaland's goals in a 2-1 win over Brazil in the round of 16.
It was Schjelderup's second start of the World Cup. He also started Norway's
loss to France in the group stage, a match where coach Stale Solbakken went
with mostly backups since his team had already clinched a spot in the knockout
round.
