England-Norway World Cup match delayed over Miami heat

England's World Cup quarter-final against Norway is at risk of delay after the City of Miami issued a heat warning for southern Florida. Temperatures are expected to reach 32C and stay above 28C until at least 8pm local time. FifPro advises that matches should be delayed or postponed until the local temperature falls to 28C or below.

Miami posted the alert on social media.

The message stated that a major heat risk is in effect across much of South Florida and warned that high temperatures and humidity can increase the risk of heat-related illness. It advised residents to stay hydrated, wear lightweight clothing, limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day, and spend time in air-conditioned spaces.

Kit change confirmed England will wear its traditional all-white kit for the match at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium. Norway, listed as the home team, will wear red shirts with navy shorts, allowing England to return to its preferred white shirt, white shorts and white socks.

Thomas Tuchel confirmed that all players except Jordan Henderson are available for the match. England previously wore navy shorts against Mexico after FIFA rules prevented a color clash with the hosts' green shirts and white shorts.
