Chalobah Expected to Step in for Guehi in Three Lions Selection

Trevoh Chalobah is likely to join up with the Three Lions selection to fill in for unavailable Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.

The 26-year-old footballer is due to join the squad for England's final World Cup qualifying matches against Albania and Serbia, but it has still not been made public.

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

Chalobah received his initial invitation under England head coach Thomas Tuchel in May and then made his debut against Senegal.

In the month of September, Tuchel said Chalobah was unfortunate to be omitted from the squad for qualifiers against Serbia and Andorra, and additionally didn't call him up for the next October matches.

Tuchel has been an significant presence in Chalobah's progress, having handed him his Chelsea first-team bow in the year 2021.

Chalobah has featured in almost every fixtures for Chelsea in the current campaign, with the club occupying third spot in the English top flight, in the EFL Cup last eight and in the league phase of the Champions League.

Guehi picked up a foot problem in Crystal Palace's Europa Conference League win over the Dutch side last week.

There are likely to be additional inclusions to the team. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has confirmed that both attacker Anthony Gordon (hip) and shot-stopper Nick Pope (a concussion) are set to pull out from the national team.
