Manchester City defender Marc Guehi will have a scan on a hip complaint on Sunday to establish whether he can join up with England. Having asked to be taken off at half-time against Nottingham Forest, the 26-year-old now faces a race to be fit for two Uefa Nations League fixtures. According to Bbc.com.
Guehi hip scan leaves Tuchel waiting before Croatia and Spain games
The concern arose during City’s loss at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, when Marc Guehi was withdrawn at the interval. Manager Enzo Maresca revealed afterwards that the centre-back had himself asked to come off. Maresca did not name the problem, although it is understood Guehi has been bothered by the hip issue in recent weeks.
That the player made the request himself has raised doubts over his availability for England’s Uefa Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain. Guehi will undergo tests, but England’s medical staff are likely to want their own assessment before any final decision is made on his involvement.
Thomas Tuchel will be hoping for a positive outcome. Guehi has been one of his most consistent selections since he took charge in January 2025. The former Crystal Palace captain started in all but one of England’s games at the World Cup and in all four of the team’s Nations League fixtures in September and October.
England face Croatia at Wembley on Thursday, 12 November, before travelling to Madrid to face World Cup winners Spain on Saturday, 15 November. Guehi joined City from Crystal Palace in January, and Sunday’s scan is intended to determine whether he can report for duty this week.
