Marc Guehi will miss upcoming fixtures after sustaining an injury, Crystal Palace confirmed on Tuesday, dealing a setback to both club and country. The England international was assessed by medical staff following the issue and has been ruled out as he continues his recovery, according to a statement released by the Premier League side.

The club said Marc Guehi reported discomfort during recent training sessions and was subsequently withdrawn as a precaution. Further medical evaluations determined that the defender would not be available for immediate selection, though no surgical intervention is required.

Palace did not provide a detailed timeline for his return but indicated that the centre-back will follow a structured rehabilitation programme under the supervision of the club’s medical team. The club added that his condition will be monitored on a week-to-week basis.

Marc Guehi, who serves as Palace’s captain, has been a key figure in the club’s defensive setup since joining from Chelsea and is also a regular selection for England when fit. His absence is expected to prompt short-term adjustments in the team’s back line.

England team officials were informed of the situation, the club said, with any national team involvement dependent on his recovery progress and fitness assessments closer to selection deadlines.

Crystal Palace said further updates will be provided as appropriate. The story is developing.
