Burn replaces injured Guehi in England squad

Newcastle’s Dan Burn has joined the England squad to face Croatia and Spain in the Nations League this week after Manchester City defender Marc Guehi pulled out with a hip injury. England face Croatia at Wembley on Thursday, before travelling to Madrid to face World Cup winners Spain on Saturday.

Newcastle's Dan Burn has joined the England squad to face Croatia and Spain in the Nations League this week after Manchester City defender Marc Guehi pulled out with a hip injury.

Guehi was substituted at half-time of City's loss at Nottingham Forest on Saturday and manager Enzo Maresca said afterwards the centre-back had requested to come off because of the injury.

BBC Sport revealed on Sunday that the 26-year-old was having a scan to determine the severity of the ongoing issue, and the defender has now been ruled out of this week's matches.

The former Crystal Palace captain has been a mainstay of Thomas Tuchel's team since he was appointed England head coach in January 2025.

Guehi started in all but one of England's World Cup games and in all four of the team's Nations League fixtures in September and October.

Burn has 11 international caps and also played for Tuchel's World Cup squad, where he made two substitute appearances.

The 34-year-old has not featured for the Three Lions since he missed the previous international break with an ankle injury.

England face Croatia at Wembley on Thursday, before travelling to Madrid to face World Cup winners Spain on Saturday.
