Overview
- Reports say Marc Guehi suffered a hamstring strain in the last-16 win over Mexico and is listed as a doubt for the quarter-final against Norway.
- England’s medical team will test Guehi in training and Tuchel will make a final selection based on that assessment.
- If Guehi is unavailable, John Stones is the most likely replacement to partner Ezri Konsa at centre-back.
- Guehi’s uncertainty increases pressure on a defence already missing Jarell Quansah to suspension and coping with Reece James’s ongoing injury.
- A booking for Guehi in the quarter-final would trigger a one-match ban that could rule him out of the semi-final, which adds a tactical dimension to Tuchel’s selection choice.
