Guehi out of England squad with injury, Burn called up

Marc Guehi has been withdrawn from the England squad because of injury, prompting the call-up of Newcastle United defender Dan Burn as his replacement.

Guehi was originally named in the group for England's remaining Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain, scheduled for later this week. However, a hip problem has forced the Manchester City defender out of the squad.

Burn joins England camp

Burn, who travelled to the World Cup over the summer but was initially left out of Thomas Tuchel's latest squad, has joined the rest of the England group at Tottenham's training ground on Monday ahead of the Croatia fixture, pencilled in for Thursday night.

Reigning world champions Spain will host the Three Lions at the Metropolitano Stadium, the home of Atletico Madrid, on Sunday evening.

Official confirmation

Guehi's withdrawal was confirmed in an official statement, which read: "Dan Burn has been added to the England squad following the withdrawal of Marc Guehi through injury.

"The Newcastle United defender, who has 11 caps, joined up with the rest of Thomas Tuchel's group at Tottenham Hotspur's training ground on Monday.

"Guehi was substituted at half-time of Manchester City's fixture at Nottingham Forest on Saturday and will now remain with his club."
