With Southgate opting to take simply two out-and-out strikers to the match, England will likely be left with simply Harry Kane if Wilson is unable to play on Saturday.
Rice has develop into a key participant for England over the previous few years, so shedding him forward of the quarter-finals could be catastrophic.
