Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi will be a notable absence for England in their upcoming quarter-final clash against Switzerland. Guehi’s solid performances at the heart of the defense have been a rare bright spot in England’s lackluster Euro 2024 campaign.

Guehi’s suspension for the quarter-final match in Dusseldorf comes as a blow to manager Gareth Southgate, who has been reluctant to make changes despite England’s underwhelming performances in Germany. The defender received his second booking of the tournament early on in the match against Slovakia, ruling him out of the crucial tie.

With Switzerland proving to be a formidable opponent after eliminating Italy in the previous round, Southgate faces a tough decision in reshuffling his defense. The absence of Guehi raises questions about who will step up in his place and whether a change in tactics is necessary for England to progress to the semi-finals.

As the Three Lions prepare to face a strong Swiss side, fans will be eager to see how Southgate navigates this latest setback and whether his team can overcome the challenge ahead. Stay tuned for updates on how England will approach the quarter-final clash without their reliable defender.
