In extra-time, Harry Kane headed England in front and they were able to see out the victory from there.<\/p>\n<p>Bellingham\u2019s goal was assisted by Guehi, who won a flick-on from a long Kyle Walker throw. But that moment may not have happened if the centre-back chose not to play through the pain barrier.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Mail<\/em>\u00a0report that Guehi sustained a shoulder injury during the first half when challenging Slovakia\u2019s David Strelec and received significant treatment on the pitch. When he returned to the dressing room at half-time, he was given a painkilling injection and ended up playing all 120 minutes of the tie.<\/p>\n<p>Guehi\u2019s will sit out Saturday\u2019s quarter-final against Switzerland having picked up a suspension for receiving a second booking this tournament, but would have been an injury doubt regardless.\u00a0England\u00a0are hopeful he will be able to make a recovery in time for a potential semi-final next week.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/01j1s8jnjan28wz0d2hc.jpg\" alt=\"Ezri Konsa\" title=\"Ezri Konsa\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Konsa could come in for Guehi \/ Jonathan Moscrop\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>England have three centre-backs in contention to replace Guehi in the starting lineup, with Ezri Konsa, Joe Gomez and Lewis Dunk all vying for a start.<\/p>\n<p>There was also concern over Guehi\u2019s centre-back partner John Stones after he was seen sporting strapping on his knee after the Slovakia win, but he assured reporters this was only precautionary. Kieran Trippier, who has started all four of England\u2019s\u00a0Euro 2024\u00a0games at left-back, was withdrawn in the second half, but also claimed to be fine post-match.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Luke Shaw is facing a race against time to participate at all this tournament. The Manchester United star is the only natural left-back in Gareth Southgate\u2019s squad and hasn\u2019t played since February due to a muscle injury, but has at least returned to full training in the last week.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-193-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-886124\"  \/><\/figure>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marc Guehi needed a painkilling injection in order to soldier on during England\u2019s dramatic 2-1 win against Slovakia on Sunday.
