Burn replaces injured Guéhi in England squad for Croatia, Spain games

England have called up Newcastle United defender Dan Burn to replace injured Marc Guéhi in Thomas Tuchel’s squad ahead of their UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain.

The Football Association confirmed the change on Monday, November 9, following Guéhi’s withdrawal through injury.

Guéhi was substituted at half-time during Manchester City’s fixture against Nottingham Forest on Saturday and will remain with his club.

Burn, who has 11 caps for England, joined the rest of Tuchel’s squad at Tottenham Hotspur’s training ground on Monday.

The Newcastle defender’s inclusion brings the squad to 25 players for the November international fixtures.

England will host Croatia at Wembley Stadium on Thursday, November 12, at 7:45pm GMT before travelling to Madrid to face Spain at the Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday, November 15, at the same time.

England are looking to secure their place in next March’s quarter-finals, with a first- or second-place finish in their group enough to guarantee qualification.
