Overview
- Marc Guehi will remain with Manchester City after scans confirmed a hip problem that led him to ask to be substituted at half‑time of City’s defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
- The Football Association confirmed on Monday that Newcastle defender Dan Burn has been added to the England squad and has joined the group at Tottenham Hotspur’s training ground.
- Burn brings 11 senior caps and recent match fitness for Newcastle but is viewed in coverage as more likely cover than an automatic like‑for‑like starter in Tuchel’s back line.
- England face Croatia at Wembley on Thursday 12 November and travel to Madrid to play Spain on Sunday 15 November, leaving Tuchel little time to finalise pairings among Jarrad Branthwaite, Jarell Quansah, Ezri Konsa and Burn.
- Guehi’s withdrawal compounds questions about his form and fitness after a run of errors this season and adds short‑term pressure on both Manchester City’s medical team and Tuchel’s selection decisions for the immediate international window.
