Tuchel confirms Guehi will miss Serbia clash and provides update on Crystal Palace defender | OneFootball

Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that Marc Guehi will not be available for the game against Serbia on Thursday.

The Crystal Palace defender is nursing a foot injury but the Three Lions boss says he could still make the game against Albania on Sunday.

“Everybody is in training in the afternoon except for Marc Guehi,” Tuchel said.

“With Marc it is very painful but there is no structural damage so it is all about the pain.

“There is the possibility that from one day to the other there is a significant improvement so we are working realistically towards the second game. If he is not in training on Friday and not able to train on Saturday then we will not make him travel with us and he will of course get rest and treatment.

“We want him to stay with us, want him to stay close. He is one of the leaders, he is an important member of the team. He is glue between many players and it is nice to see that he is trying everything to be included in the second game. We will assess him every day.”

England take on Serbia and Albania in World Cup qualifiers, having already confirmed their place at the 2026 tournament.
