England defender Marc Guehi set to miss potential Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland
The defender will be suspended for the match if England progress.
Marc Guehi will miss England’s next Euro 2024 match if they progress to the quarter-finals.
England kicked off their 2024 European Championships knockout campaign against Slovakia on Sunday afternoon at the Veltins-Arena.
But if they reach the quarter-finals, key player Marc Guehi will be absent after the Crystal Palace defender was given his second yellow card of the tournament early in the match,
As part of the tournament rules, if a player receives two yellow cards, he is suspended for a game.
A player will also be suspended for a second time if he gets four yellow cards.
Despite only having 14 senior England caps, Guehi has been crucial for Gareth Southgate and has played every minute of the tournament so far.
Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo was shown a yellow card in the seventh minute of his first Euro 2024 for a late challenge.
Ten minutes later, Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham was shown a yellow card for bringing down Slovakian winger Lukas Haraslin.
The quick yellow cards are the earliest since 1980 that three different players were booked at the Euros, according to Opta.
Two Premier League clubs have entered the race for England and Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi, according to reports.
Guehi has been in impressive form for Palace across three seasons while he starred for England’s back line alongside John Stones for the Three Lions’ tournament opener against Serbia.
With just two years remaining on his deal at Selhurst Park, Guehi has been linked with a summer transfer.
“He was brilliant – brilliant,” Jude Bellingham stressed when asked about Guehi’s first tournament start in an England shirt.
