Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi Set to Miss England Qualifiers After Bone Bruise

Scans showed a heavy bone bruise that has left the captain on crutches, with a return to training targeted within two weeks.

Overview

  • Oliver Glasner said Guehi "can't even walk" and has used crutches for two days following the injury.
  • The centre-back was hurt late in Palace’s 3-1 win over AZ Alkmaar, an incident that brought a yellow card.
  • Palace report no fracture, and the medical team hope he could resume training in roughly 10–14 days.
  • England’s players report on Monday for qualifiers against Serbia and Albania, and Guehi is expected to be withdrawn from Thomas Tuchel’s squad that includes John Stones, Ezri Konsa and Jarell Quansah.
  • Newcastle’s Nick Pope is out under concussion protocol and Anthony Gordon is sidelined with a minor injury, narrowing England’s options for the window.
