According to Sky Sports, the 23-year-old has started each of England's matches in the competition, with the centre-back filling in for Harry Maguire, who is injured.

Guehi was part of the team that secured a 2-1 dramatic comeback win against Slovakia in the Round of 16 to advance to the quarters on June 30.

Ivan Schranz opened the scoring for Slovakia in the 25th minute, with the side looking on course to eliminate Southgate's charges.

However, Jude Bellingham got them back into the match in extra time, with the Real Madrid star netting an incredible bicycle kick to make it 1-1.

Harry Kane went on to score shortly after as Slovakia suffered a heartbreaking loss.

According to SPORTbible, the defender is suspended for the match after his second yellow card of the tournament early in the game against Slovakia.

Guehi was booked after he made a last-ditch effort in the fourth minute to block Andraz Sporar.
