Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace has been performing well in the back four for England at Euro 2024. Despite having the lowest expected goals against in the tournament, Guehi humbly rejects any suggestion that he has been the team’s best player. He credits the collective effort of the team for their strong defensive performances, emphasizing that everyone has played their part in keeping the goals out.
The 23-year-old defender, who missed part of the previous season due to a knee injury, has seized his opportunity to represent England after Harry Maguire’s injury. Guehi is relishing the chance to compete on the international stage and is focused on continuously improving his game. He acknowledges that there have been several standout performances from his teammates as well.
Guehi is accompanied by his Crystal Palace colleagues Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton in the England squad. However, the absence of left-back Tyrick Mitchell has left a gap in the team, prompting discussions about the limited options in that position. Guehi praises Mitchell’s consistency and performance throughout the season and believes that if he continues to excel, he will eventually earn his chance to represent England as well.
