Marc Guehi Undergoes Hip Scan Ahead of England Duty Following Nottingham Forest Half-Time Substitution

Marc Guehi Undergoes Hip Scan Ahead of England Duty Following Nottingham Forest Half-Time Substitution Marc Guehi asked to come off at half-time against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Guehi was withdrawn at half-time of City's 3-1 Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday evening, with Matheus Nunes coming on in his place at the interval. The England international joined Manchester City from Crystal Palace  for £20 million in January and was named by Enzo Maresca in his four-man captaincy group alongside Ruben Dias, Erling Haaland and Gianluigi Donnarumma after the Italian replaced Pep Guardiola as manager in June. Guehi was named in Thomas Tuchel's England squad on Friday, the day before the defeat at the City Ground, for the UEFA Nations League fixtures against Croatia at Wembley on Thursday 12 November and Spain in Madrid on Sunday 15 November. However, the Englishman's place in the Three Lions squad has come under question after he was taken off at half-time in Nottingham at the weekend as Manchester City fell to a third consecutive Premier League defeat. As reported by BBC Sport's Sami Mokbel , Guehi underwent a scan on his hip on Sunday to determine whether he is fit enough to report for England duty this week, with the former Crystal Palace captain understood to have been troubled by the problem in recent weeks. Maresca revealed after the game that Guehi had asked to come off because of an injury, without specifying the nature of the problem, whilst Josko Gvardiol was also withdrawn at the break after struggling with issues during the week. Nico O'Reilly replaced Gvardiol at half-time, and the 21-year-old's own fitness has been a concern for City after he was left out of England's November squad on Friday because of a back problem. Maresca had cited that back issue as the reason for O'Reilly's England omission, explaining that the left-back has been troubled by the problem since the 1-0 home win over Coventry City in early September and is not fully fit. The Italian added that he expects O'Reilly to return to the England setup in the future, with the Manchester City academy graduate having started the 3-2 UEFA Champions League win at RB Leipzig last Wednesday despite the problem. Saturday's half-time withdrawal was Guehi's second in three Premier League games, after he was taken off at the interval of the 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa last month following a loose touch that led to Nicolas Jackson's opening goal. Manchester City have now lost three successive Premier League games, conceding six goals across defeats to Villa, Brighton and Hove Albion and Forest - and they conceded early in all three of those matches. Jair Cunha put Forest ahead inside six minutes on Saturday before former City striker Liam Delap scored twice, with Rayan Cherki's 52nd-minute half-volley the only reply for Maresca's side at the City Ground. Maresca criticised his side's lack of intensity after the game as the loss leaves the Blues six points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal heading into the international break. Elliot Anderson is the other City player in Tuchel's squad, with the midfielder having started at the City Ground on his first return to the club he left for £116 million in the summer. Manchester City return from the international break at home to Fulham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday 21 November, before hosting Napoli in the Champions League on Tuesday 24 November and visiting Arsenal on Sunday 29 November.
