Overview
- Guehi asked to be substituted at half-time of Manchester City’s 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday after developing a hip problem.
- After a club scan over the weekend, the FA announced on Monday that Guehi will remain with Manchester City and has withdrawn from the England squad.
- Newcastle defender Dan Burn has been called up as Guehi’s replacement and joined the rest of Thomas Tuchel’s squad at Tottenham Hotspur’s training ground on Monday morning.
- Tuchel still has other centre-back choices available, including Jarrad Branthwaite, Jarell Quansah and Ezri Konsa, though Guehi had been a near-constant starter for England under Tuchel.
- The decision follows standard club-to-country medical checks and could change Tuchel’s defensive plans for matches against Croatia at Wembley and Spain in Madrid this week.
