"Ezri Konsa was one of them with cramps and the hamstrings."Declan, we made a decision in half-time to become more offensive, to have a bit of an offensive shift."I made the decision when we were 1-0 down and didn't want to go back on the decision because of the equaliser. Rice was a doubt for the Norway game as he had already been suffering with a neural issue affecting his hamstring and lower back, and it was exacerbated by illness.He trained on the eve of the quarter-final but made way at the break. Tuchel added: "We had to take Elliott [Anderson] or Declan out [and] knowing that Declan struggled after the last three days where he was most of the time in bed, I knew he cannot survive 90 minutes."There was a possibility that it goes 120 [minutes], so I didn't want to waste another change, so the decision was to take Declan earlier out than he needed to go out, just to save us another change later...
