Solid display Tuesday
Guehi generated one shot (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Ghana.
Analysis: Guehi recorded a game-high 12 duels won while taking advantage of England's high possession to finish with an impressive 126 accurate passes against Ghana. It was his first start in the competition, as he was now preferred over the opening game's starter John Stones. While it was not a very challenging matchup, the clean sheet is a good sign for Guehi's chances of retaining the spot in a favorable meeting with Panama.
Anchors England's defense
Guehi has been named in England's World Cup squad and is expected to anchor the back line after a rotational campaign in which the center-back changed clubs midway through the season.
Analysis: Guehi spent most of the season as Crystal Palace's captain before securing the move to the Etihad, earning particular praise for his 124-pass performance in City's 3-0 win at his former club. The defender brings technical quality, aerial dominance and the leadership experience of captaining a top-flight club to what is expected to be one of England's first-choice central defensive partnerships alongside Ezri Konsa at the World Cup. Guehi heads into the tournament in excellent form after an exciting move to one of the Premier League's biggest clubs confirmed his status as one of the best defenders in England.
