Football: Dan Burn replaces Marc Guéhi for England

Newcastle defender Dan Burn joins the England squad for upcoming Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain. Marc Guéhi withdrew after suffering a hip injury with Manchester City, according to MyJoyOnline, which notes that Burn has 11 international caps.

Newcastle United announced Dan Burn’s arrival in the England squad to replace Marc Guéhi, who withdrew because of a hip injury. The Manchester City defender was injured during the 3-1 defeat by Nottingham Forest on Saturday and was replaced at half-time, MyJoyOnline reports.

Dan Burn, 34, has 11 caps for England and was part of the World Cup squad under manager Thomas Tuchel, making two substitute appearances. He had not played for the Three Lions since the previous international break, which he missed because of an ankle injury.

England will face Croatia at Wembley on Thursday before travelling to Madrid on Saturday to play Spain, the world champions. Marc Guéhi, 26, had started all but one of England’s World Cup matches, as well as the four Nations League matches played in September and October, according to MyJoyOnline.
