Newcastle’s Dan Burn has been added to the England squad to play 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 his appointment as England head coach in January 2025.
Guehi started in all but one of England’s games at the World Cup and all four of the team’s Nations League fixtures in September and October.
Burn has 11 international caps and was also part of Tuchel’s squad for the World Cup, where he made two substitute appearances.
The 34-year-old has not featured for the Three Lions since after 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.
