Newcastle United defender Dan Burn has been added to England’s squad to replace the injured Marc Guéhi for the nation’s upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain.
The call‑up comes as England prepare for the two matches that form part of the competition’s final group stage, where European sides compete for promotion and relegation within the league system.
Guéhi’s withdrawal was confirmed after he suffered an injury that ruled him out of the September internationals. No further details on the nature of the injury were provided.
Burn, who has been a regular figure in Newcastle United’s back line, will now join the England camp and has the chance to stake a claim for a place in the defensive line‑up for the Croatia and Spain games.
England will be looking to secure valuable points in the two encounters as they aim to finish the Nations League campaign on a strong note.
