Marc Guehi's Fitness in Question Ahead of England Duty

Marc Guehi's fitness is under scrutiny as he prepares for international duty with England. The Manchester City defender, who made the switch from Crystal Palace in January, is scheduled to have a scan on his hip injury this Sunday. The 26-year-old had to be substituted during City's defeat to Nottingham Forest, with manager Enzo Maresca confirming that Guehi himself requested to leave the pitch due to discomfort. While Maresca didn’t go into details about the injury, it's known that Guehi has been dealing with hip issues for a while now. His early exit has cast doubt on his participation in England's UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain. The England medical team will likely want to evaluate Guehi closely before any final decisions are reached. England manager Thomas Tuchel will be eager for good news, as Guehi has been a vital part of the squad since he took charge in January 2025. The former Crystal Palace captain played in nearly all of England's World Cup matches and featured in all four Nations League games last fall. The Three Lions are set to face Croatia at Wembley on Thursday, November 12, before heading to Madrid to take on the World Cup champions, Spain, on Saturday, November 15.
