England call up Burn to replace injured Guehi for Nations League ties
LONDON: Newcastle defender Dan Burn has been called into England’s Nations League squad after Manchester City’s Marc Guehi pulled out of the matches against Croatia and Spain.
Newcastle defender Dan Burn has been added to the England Nations League squad after Marc Guehi pulled out due to a reported hip issue. England will face Croatia in a match at Wembley on Thursday and Spain in Madrid on Sunday. Guehi had been a regular in England's last 15 matches, but Burn could make his first appearance for the team since the World Cups in June and July.
Burn, 34, had previously missed the previous international break in September and October due to an ankle injury. Burn joined the England squad at Tottenham Hotspur's training ground on Monday following the withdrawal of Guehi, who was substituted at half-time during City's match against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
