MARC GUEHI needed an injection on a shoulder injury at half-time in England's win over Slovakia.
The defender played through the pain barrier to help the Three Lions secure a dramatic comeback victory in the last 16 of Euro 2024.
Guehi played the full 90 minutes plus extra-time in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday.
He also provided the assist for Jude Bellingham's stoppage time equaliser, flicking on a throw-in to the Real Madrid man.
However, Guehi did so despite twisting his shoulder in a tussle with David Strelec during the first half.
The Crystal Palace man received lengthy treatment on the pitch before needing an injection at half-time to continue.
According to the Daily Mail, Guehi would have been a doubt for Saturday's quarter-final against Switzerland had he not been suspended.
Instead, the Three Lions are hopeful the 23-year-old will be fit for a possible semi-final in Dortmund on July 10.
He has played every minute of England's campaign so far but is suspended for the last eight after accumulating two yellow cards.
Ezri Konsa is expected to come into the back four to replace Guehi alongside John Stones.
Discussing the potential of starting against Switzerland, the Aston Villa defender said: "I’m always ready.
"When the gaffer wants to play me, wherever he wants to play, I will step in."
Elsewhere, both Stones and Kieran Trippier are expected to be fit for Saturday's match in Dusseldorf.
Stones left the stadium with strapping on his right knee after the win over Slovakia but said he would be "fine" for the next match.
Meanwhile, Trippier was withdrawn during the second half after picking up a knock from a heavy challenge.
