Guehi took no part in Thursday’s 2-0 win over Serbia at Wembley as manager Thomas Tuchel rested the defender who said had suffered “no structural damage” suggesting he could’ve been okay to face Albania this weekend.
However, the Palace star has now pulled out of the squad as revealed by England on Friday afternoon.
“Crystal Palace's Marc Guéhi has left the England camp and will not travel to Albania for Sunday's 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier.
“The defender joined up with the Three Lions at Tottenham Hotspur's training ground earlier this week but has returned to his club to continue his rehabilitation.
“Thomas Tuchel will prepare for the trip to Tirana with a squad of 24.”
Guehi will now continue his recovery back at Crystal Palace ahead of their Premier League game against bottom of the league Wolves. After missing the Brighton game and having more than a week’s rest, he may be available for the clash as long as he takes time to recover.
Guehi saw a move to Liverpool collapse on deadline day, and will be a free agent at the end of the season, with multiple clubs including Chelsea and Bayern Munich ready to pounce during the January transfer window where contact can be made.
