Marc Guehi Withdraws from England Squad with Injury Ahead of Challenge Run of Games for Manchester City

Marc Guehi Withdraws from England Squad with Injury Ahead of Challenge Run of Games for Manchester City Marc Guehi has been crucial to Man City since joining from Crystal Palace for £20M in January. More Videos Guehi, 26, was named in Thomas Tuchel's squad last Friday for the Nations League fixtures against Croatia at Wembley on Thursday and Spain at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid on Sunday evening. The Manchester City defender asked to come off at half-time of the 3-1 Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday, with Matheus Nunes replacing him at the interval. Guehi then underwent a scan on the hip complaint on Sunday to determine whether he could report for international duty, with the centre-back understood to have been troubled by the problem in recent weeks. England confirmed on Monday that Newcastle United defender Dan Burn has been added to the squad following Guehi's withdrawal through injury, with the 11-cap centre-back joining up with Tuchel's group at the national team's base on Monday. Guehi will instead remain with City during the international break, although no timeline has been given for his return to action and the outcome of Sunday's scan has not been made public. Burn travelled to the FIFA World Cup with England over the summer but was left out of Tuchel's original November squad, after missing the previous international break with an ankle injury, and he has played every minute of Newcastle's last three Premier League games. Guehi had started almost every game at the World Cup, where England finished third, and he also played in all four of their Nations League fixtures across the September and October international windows before this withdrawal. 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. Enzo Maresca explained after the Forest defeat that Guehi had asked to come off because of an injury, whilst Josko Gvardiol was also withdrawn at the break after struggling with physical problems during the week. Nico O'Reilly, who replaced Gvardiol at half-time, was left out of England's squad on Friday because of a back problem that Maresca says has troubled the 21-year-old since the 1-0 win over Coventry City in early September. Manchester City have lost three successive Premier League games and conceded six goals in the process, with Maresca having vowed to resolve the problems during the break before his side return to action. Guehi joined City from Crystal Palace in January and was named in Maresca's four-man captaincy group for the 2026-27 season - alongside Ruben Dias, Erling Haaland and Gianluigi Donnarumma - after the Italian took charge in June. Elliot Anderson remains the only City player in Tuchel's squad for the two Nations League fixtures, with the midfielder having started on his first return to Forest at the weekend following his £116 million move to the Etihad Stadium in the summer.
