Man City defender Guehi pulls out of England squad with hip injury
Post
๐ฐ Manchester City defender Marc Guehi has withdrawn from England duty with a hip problem.
๐ Key points
๐ฉน Guehi has pulled out of England's November squad with a hip problem.
๐ Newcastle's Dan Burn has been called up in his place.
โฑ๏ธ He asked to come off at half-time at Nottingham Forest on 7 November.
๐ City lost that game 3-1, their third straight league defeat.
๐๏ธ No timescale has been given; Fulham at home on 21 November is next.
๐ What happened
๐จ Guehi was withdrawn at half-time at the City Ground. Enzo Maresca confirmed the defender asked to come off and did not specify the problem at the time.
๐ด England then announced his withdrawal. Sports Mole reports Burn joined up in his place and City said Guehi would stay at the Etihad for treatment. The False 9, citing the BBC, says the problem is his hip.
โ ๏ธ The 26-year-old has played 14 times for City this season and started nine of their ten league games. Sports Mole says he has recently been criticised for error-strewn performances.
๐ By the numbers
โข Three straight league defeats; six points behind leaders Arsenal (27 points)
โข Guehi: 41 England caps, 14 City appearances this season
โข Burn: 11 England caps, aged 34
โข Next: Fulham (home), 21 November
๐ญ Why it matters
City have slipped after seven straight wins to start the season, so losing a defensive regular hurts. After Fulham they travel to leaders Arsenal on 29 November.
