Marc Guehi has departed England's training camp ahead of the team's World Cup qualifier against Albania. Guehi, who almost joined Liverpool during the summer transfer window, sustained an injury whilst representing Crystal Palace and was absent from his country's 2-0 victory over Serbia on Thursday at Wembley.

He has withdrawn from Thomas Tuchel's squad and will instead continue his recovery from the foot injury with Palace. The Palace defender had been optimistic about regaining fitness in time for Sunday's match in Tirana, but has chosen to leave his teammates at Tottenham's training facility to recuperate with his club.

"Everybody is in training in the afternoon except for Marc Guehi," he said. We will assess him every day." Guehi sustained an injury during Palace's 3-1 Conference League victory over AZ Alkmaar last week and was absent for the team's Premier League clash with Brighton at the weekend.
