Marc Guehi withdraws from England squad due to injury with replacement called up

Marc Guehi has pulled out of the England squad on the first day of the international break due to injury.

The centre-back was substituted at half-time of Manchester City’s 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening, with manager Enzo Maresca revealing after the match that Guehi had requested to be replaced because of the injury.

Maresca did not specify what issue Guehi had picked up but after undergoing scans, he has not been deemed fit to participate in England’s upcoming camp and will instead remain with City.

Newcastle defender Dan Burn has been called up in his place.
