England squad undergoes changes ahead of Nations League matches
England head coach Thomas Tuchel has made several adjustments to his squad for upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain. The team is facing a defensive shortage following the withdrawal of Marc Guehi due to a hip injury and Ezri Konsa, who is sidelined for the match against Croatia but expected to be available for the subsequent game against Spain.
To address these absences, Tuchel has called up Newcastle United defender Dan Burn to replace Guehi, and Bournemouth centre-back James Hill has earned his first senior international call-up to replace Konsa. Additionally, Arsenal midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly will miss the clash with Croatia due to a suspension resulting from accumulated yellow cards.
England currently sits second in Group A3. A result against Croatia at Wembley could secure their progression to the quarter-finals. The squad also features several other Premier League players, including Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Declan Rice.
