Marc Guehi Faces England Withdrawal After Hip Scan

Overview

• Guehi was taken off at half-time of Manchester City’s 3-1 loss to Nottingham Forest on Saturday after reporting a problem with his hip.
• Following that substitution, the defender underwent a hip scan on Sunday to assess whether he is fit enough to join England for matches against Croatia and Spain.
• Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca said Guehi asked to be substituted because of the injury, and England medical staff will conduct their own assessment before a final decision.
• The Independent reports that Guehi has withdrawn from the England squad and Newcastle defender Dan Burn has been called up as his replacement.
• The decision follows a run of poor form and two half-time withdrawals in three Premier League games for Guehi, a sequence that has coincided with Manchester City’s three straight league defeats and raises fresh questions about England’s defensive options.
