Scores, assists in third-place win
Rice scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and two chances created in Saturday's 6-4 victory versus France.
Analysis: Rice took advantage of a defensive mistake to recover a ball and dribble towards the box before firing a well-placed strike in the third minute against France. Other than that, the midfielder did a great job on set pieces, with one of his corner kick crosses leading to the goal that doubled England's lead. He went through some struggles throughout the competition due to minor blows and an illness that limited his involvement, but overall he served as a big piece of his national squad, posting one goal and two assists and averaging a team-high 2.4 chances created per game.
Late call for Wednesday
Rice is still feeling unwell after dealing with illness in recent days, and his availability for Wednesday's semi-finals clash against Argentina is in doubt, although there's hope that he'll reach a complete recovery for the match, Sami Mokbel of BBC Sport reports.
Analysis: Rice has been improving from his ailment, but he did see his participation limited to 45 minutes in the last game versus Norway. The midfielder is a key all-around contributor for his national team, making his status a major concern ahead of the final couple of contests. He has been replaced by Eberechi Eze when England need to focus on attacking, but Kobbie Mainoo is also available as a more defensive-minded alternative in case Rice is not ready for meaningful workload.
