Chalobah Set to Replace Marc Guehi in England Selection

Chelsea defender in action

The Chelsea star followed his sibling Nathaniel in playing for England, becoming the 21st duo of brothers to earn caps for the England side.

Trevoh Chalobah is expected to link up with the England squad to cover for injured Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi.

The 26-year-old footballer is scheduled to link up with the squad for England's remaining World Cup qualifying matches against Serbia and Albania, although it has not yet been made public.

The England team have already secured qualification for next summer's World Cup.

Chalobah earned his maiden selection under England manager Thomas Tuchel in May and then earned his first cap against the Senegalese team.

In September, Tuchel remarked Chalobah was unfortunate to be left out from the squad for qualifiers against Serbia and Andorra, and additionally did not select him for the subsequent October fixtures.

Tuchel has been an significant figure in Chalobah's progress, having given him his Chelsea first appearance in the year 2021.

Chalobah has played in nearly all games for Chelsea this season, with the team occupying third spot in the Premier League, in the EFL Cup last eight and in the group stage of the European competition.

Guehi sustained a foot injury in Crystal Palace's Conference League success over the Dutch side last week.

There are expected to be additional additions to the selection. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has confirmed that both attacker Anthony Gordon (hip injury) and goalkeeper Nick Pope (concussion symptoms) will be unavailable from the national team.
