Trevoh Chalobah Poised to Step in for Guehi in England National Team

The Chelsea defender is likely to join up with the England squad to cover for injured Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.

Chalobah earned his maiden call-up under England head coach Thomas Tuchel in May and then made his debut against Senegal.

In the month of September, Tuchel stated Chalobah was unlucky to be excluded from the selection for qualifiers against Serbia and Andorra, and additionally didn't call him up for the subsequent October fixtures.

Tuchel has been an significant figure in Chalobah's career, having awarded him his Chelsea debut in the year 2021.

Chalobah has appeared in almost every fixtures for Chelsea in the current campaign, with the club third in the Premier League, in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals and in the league phase of the Champions League.

Guehi suffered a foot problem in Crystal Palace's Conference League victory over AZ Alkmaar recently.

There are expected to be additional additions to the squad. Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe has said that both winger Anthony Gordon (hip injury) and goalkeeper Nick Pope (a concussion) are set to pull out from the squad.
