Northumberland born Oliver, 37, was in the middle for Brazil’s penalty shootout defeat to Croatia.

But he hasn’t been retained for the final week of the tournament despite England being knocked out, according to The Telegraph.

As well as Brazil’s quarter-final exit, Oliver took charge of Costa Rica’s 1-0 win over Japan and Mexico’s 2-1 victory against Saudi Arabia in the group stages.

Meanwhile fellow Prem whistler Taylor, 44, is reported to still be in Qatar.Advertisement

The Manchester born ref is in with a chance of overseeing one of the four games remaining.

There are just two semi-finals, Argentina vs Croatia and France vs Morocco, plus the third-place play-off and the final left to play.

Taylor has been retained alongside his assistants Adam Nunn and Gary Beswick.

He could become the first English official to referee a World Cup final since Howard Webb in 2010.
