Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi has been ruled out for up to eight weeks after undergoing knee surgery.

Guehi, 23, was injured in the Eagles' loss at Brighton on 3 February and was replaced on 28 minutes.

After the initial scan, it was thought the injury would only keep the England defender out for two or three weeks.

Guehi will also miss England's matches with Brazil and Belgium next month - their final games before manager Gareth Southgate names his Euro 2024 squad.

There was an option for Guehi not to have an operation but that may have resulted in him needing treatment further down the line.
