Marc Guehi OUT of England’s quarter-final clash against Switzerland after picking up second yellow card vs Slovakia
MARC GUEHI has been ruled out of the Euro 2024 quarter-finals should England beat Slovakia.
The defender picked up an early yellow in the round of 16 clash at the Veltins-Arena.
Guehi was sold a short pass by Kieran Trippier and was forced into action to stop the Slovak attack.
However, he was unable to win the ball and was quickly booked by referee Umut Meler.
Should England make it through, then they will face Switzerland in the quarter-finals.
The Swiss progressed to the last eight after dispatching Italy 2-0 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
Remo Freuler opened the scoring in the 37th minute before Ruben Vargas doubled the lead just seconds into the second half.
Guehi would be a big miss for the Three Lions, as he has played every minute of the tournament so far.
The defender was not the only England star to find himself being cautioned in the opening stages.
Kobbie Mainoo was shown a yellow card for a late challenge in the 7th minute.
