Rio Ferdinand has praised Marc Guehi, saying that the Crystal Palace defender steps up ‘at every level’.<\/p>\n
Guehi, who has attracted interest from Arsenal, started in England’s 1-1 draw with Ukraine last weekend.<\/p>\n
The centre-back gave a good account of himself and drew praise from Ferdinand.<\/p>\n
With John Stones out injured, Guehi was selected to start alongside Harry Maguire at the heart of the defence.<\/p>\n
There has been much debate regarding Maguire’s continued inclusion in the England side despite the fact that he isn’t a regular starter for Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Ferdinand says selecting Maguire could have an adverse impact on the morale of England’s centre-backs.<\/p>\n
However, the former Manchester United defender reserved praise for Guehi.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking on the Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE YouTube channel, Ferdinand said:\u00a0‘My biggest concern would be the confidence and morale of the other players in that position. So he’s basically saying I’ve got no other centre halves who I can trust at all.<\/p>\n
‘John Stones, who’s the best England centre-half around at the moment is injured. ‘I’ve got to find a replacement’. Marc Guehi comes in. He just seemed to be able to step up at every level he gets asked to step up to. He steps up comfortably.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Guehi was making his fifth senior appearance for England and will hope that he also features in some capacity against Scotland.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old has received much praise for his displays for Crystal Palace, which has led to suggestions that he could end up moving elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Guehi started his career at Chelsea but made just two first-team appearances for the Blues and had two loan spells at Swansea.<\/p>\n
He has represented England at every level from Under-16s upwards.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ferdinand says playing Harry Maguire won’t help the confidence of England’s other centre-backs<\/p>\n
