England star could be forced to pull out of squad as Thomas Tuchel anxiously awaits scan result

Manchester City defender Guehi awaits scan results on a hip injury picked up against Nottingham Forest; England boss Tuchel uncertain if he'll be fit for Croatia and Spain Nations League matches.

Marc Guehi is undergoing a scan after sustaining a hip injury during Manchester City's 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The centre-back was substituted at half-time when City were trailing 2-0, with manager Enzo Maresca confirming post-match that Guehi requested the change due to the injury.

England manager Thomas Tuchel, who called up Guehi last Friday, is awaiting the scan results to determine whether the defender can join the squad for the upcoming Nations League break. England face Croatia on Thursday evening and Spain next Sunday night. Even if the scan clears him, England will conduct their own fitness assessment, making his availability uncertain.

Guehi has been a regular starter for the Three Lions, featuring in all games during September and October. Should he miss out, Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite and Bayer Leverkusen's Jarell Quansah are among the alternatives, though Guehi's recent form has drawn criticism for several costly errors this season.
