Nations League: Marc Guehi hip injury forces England defensive change

The 26-year-old was forced off at half-time during City's 3-1 Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest at the weekend after experiencing discomfort.

City coach Enzo Maresca confirmed that Guehi had requested to be substituted, with subsequent scans revealing an injury serious enough to rule him out of England's November fixtures.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has responded by calling up Newcastle United defender Dan Burn as his replacement.

The Three Lions face Croatia on November 12 before taking on Spain on November 15 as they complete their UEFA Nations League campaign.

Guehi has been an important figure in Tuchel's defence, starting all but one of England's matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and featuring in all four Nations League games during September and October.

His absence represents a blow to England's defensive options, with Burn now given an opportunity to strengthen his case for a regular place in the squad.

There could be further concerns for Tuchel, with Declan Rice and Dominic Calvert-Lewin also facing questions over their fitness and workload ahead of the international matches.
