by Moronfolu Adeyemi · The Eagle OnlineNewcastle United defender Dan Burn has been called up to the England squad to replace injured Marc Guéhi ahead of the Three Lions’ UEFA Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain.
The Football Association confirmed the change on Monday, November 9, following Guéhi’s withdrawal from Thomas Tuchel’s squad through injury.
Guéhi was forced off at half-time during Manchester City’s fixture against Nottingham Forest on Saturday and will remain with his club for further attention.
Burn, who has earned 11 international caps, joined the rest of the England squad at Tottenham Hotspur’s training ground on Monday.
His inclusion takes Tuchel’s squad to 25 players for the November international window.
England will begin their campaign against Croatia at Wembley Stadium on Thursday, November 12, with kick-off scheduled for 7:45pm GMT.
The Three Lions will then travel to Madrid to face Spain at the Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday, November 15, with the match also scheduled to begin at 7:45pm GMT.
The two encounters represent England’s final UEFA Nations League group-stage fixtures of 2026.
Tuchel’s side will be aiming to secure qualification for next March’s quarter-finals, with a first- or second-place finish in their group enough to guarantee progression.
