Overview
- An FA statement confirmed the Crystal Palace centre-back will miss Sunday’s World Cup qualifier in Tirana and has gone back to his club for rehabilitation.
- Thomas Tuchel has not named a replacement, leaving England with a 24-man group and centre-back options including John Stones, Ezri Konsa, Dan Burn, Trevoh Chalobah and Jarrell Quansah.
- Scans showed no structural damage to Guehi’s foot, with Tuchel describing the issue as pain-related after he initially hoped the defender might recover in time for Albania.
