Guehi's England omission linked to eye injury

Marc Guehi's omission from the England squad is connected to the eye injury he suffered during the FA Cup final.

BBC Sport can reveal that England manager Thomas Tuchel phoned the Guehi on Thursday to explain that he didn't want to risk re-injuring the defender's eye.

Tuchel made clear to the Crystal Palace captain that he remains vital to his plans, but felt he needed to focus on recovering from the issue.

Guehi spent Saturday night in hospital with a suspected fractured eye socket, though tests later confirmed he had escaped a crack and the injury was severe bruising.
