Newcastle United defender Dan Burn has been drafted into the England squad for the upcoming fixtures after Marc Guehi was forced to withdraw due to injury. Both players were part of England's 2026 World Cup squad selection.
The change was confirmed on Monday, November 9, 2026, with Burn earning a recall to the national team setup. The 32-year-old centre-back has been in strong form for Newcastle this season, prompting his inclusion as cover for the injured Guehi.
Guehi, who has been a regular for England under the current management, will miss the forthcoming matches as he recovers. The Crystal Palace defender's absence opens the door for Burn to add to his international caps.
