Guehi was taken off at half-time in Manchester City's 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

He has now withdrawn from the Three Lions' squad for their upcoming Nations League contests against Croatia and world champion Spain.

Burn, who was one of England's standout performers when they beat Mexico in the World Cup in July, has been called up in Guehi's place.

The 34 year-old was absent from England's squad in September due to injury, but was then originally omitted by Tuchel for these fixtures, with Jarrad Branthwaite, Ezri Konsa, Ben White and Jarell Quansah given the nod.

Burn has made 11 appearances for England, with seven of those coming from the bench. He has played a part in four clean sheets.

Guehi, meanwhile, will see his run of playing in consecutive England matches come to an end at 15 appearances.

England is second in Nations League Group A3, having won three of its four fixtures, losing only to Spain.

A point against Croatia on Friday will be enough to see Tuchel's team into the quarter-finals.
