Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has withdrawn from the England squad because of injury.

He will return to his club to continue rehabilitation on the foot injury he sustained against AZ Alkmaar in a Conference League game last week.

The 25-year-old was left out of the squad for England’s 2-0 victory over Serbia on Thursday and will miss the Three Lions’ final 2026 World Cup qualifier in Albania.

Guehi joined up with Thomas Tuchel’s side at the start of the week, despite missing Palace’s 0-0 draw to Brighton last Sunday because of a heavy bone bruise to his foot that left him “unable to walk”.

Tuchel will prepare for Sunday’s trip to Tirana with a squad of 24.

England are top of Group K and have already qualified for next summer’s World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, having won all seven matches so far.
