Manchester City defender Marc Guehi will undergo a scan on a hip complaint on Sunday to determine whether he can report for England duty this week.
The 26-year-old was substituted at half-time of City’s loss at Nottingham Forest on Saturday and manager Enzo Maresca revealed afterwards the centre-back had requested to come off because of the injury.
Maresca did not specify Guehi’s issue, but it was understood he has been troubled by the hip problem in recent weeks.
The fact he requested to be substituted against Forest has placed doubt over whether he will be available for international duty as England prepare for Uefa Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain.
Guehi will undergo tests, although it is likely England medical staff will also want to assess the player before a final decision is made.
Thomas Tuchel will be hoping the defender is passed fit, with the former Crystal Palace captain a mainstay of his team since his appointment as England head coach in January 2025.
Guehi started in all but one of England’s games at the World Cup and all four of the team’s Nations League fixtures in September and October.
