England Football said on 9 November that Dan Burn had replaced injured Marc Guéhi in Thomas Tuchel's squad. Burn joins England before Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain, while Guéhi remains with Manchester City.
Guéhi withdraws as Burn joins the camp
England Football's update says Guéhi was substituted at half-time of Manchester City's match at Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The association said the defender had withdrawn through injury and would remain with his club. Its notice gave no further medical detail, so it does not establish how long he will be unavailable.
Burn joined Tuchel's group at Tottenham Hotspur's training ground on Monday, according to the same England Football update. England Football's 9 November update says the Newcastle United defender had 11 senior caps when he joined the camp. Burn's arrival is described as a replacement for Guéhi, rather than an additional place in the squad.
SportsRivo checked the current England Football squad list against the withdrawal notice. Burn appears among the defenders with an asterisk that explicitly identifies him as Guéhi's replacement. The list still includes Jobe Bellingham and Josh King, whose first senior call-ups SportsRivo reported when the squad was announced.
England's Nations League schedule
England Football's fixture calendar lists Croatia at Wembley on 12 November and an away game against Spain in Madrid on 15 November. Both matches are still scheduled. The revised squad list therefore identifies Burn as available to Tuchel for the international window; it does not confirm a place in either starting side.
The change concerns England's defence rather than the new midfield call-ups covered in the earlier SportsRivo report. Guéhi had been in Tuchel's initial selection, while Burn is now named in the association's revised defender list. No match appearance can be inferred from a squad place alone.
What the change means for England
- Burn becomes a named defensive option for the Croatia and Spain fixtures after joining the camp.
- Guéhi stays with Manchester City, so Tuchel cannot use him in the November England squad described by the association.
- England Football's revised list keeps the other named defenders and the two first-time midfield call-ups in place; the announced change is Burn for Guéhi.
The next two fixtures
England Football schedules Croatia's visit to Wembley for Thursday 12 November, followed by England's trip to Spain on Sunday 15 November. Tuchel's eventual match selections will show whether Burn plays in either game.
