Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira says Marc Guehi should take his time deciding whether to play for England or Ivory Coast.

Crystal Palace defenders Guehi and Tyrick Mitchell made Three Lions debuts in recent friendlies against Switzerland and Ivory Coast at Wembley.

Guehi was born in the west African country before moving to London and the Ivorians want him to play for them.

The centre-half, 21, realistically has to make a decision before June when England play Nations League games.

Palace boss Vieira was born in Senegal but opted to play for France and the former Arsenal midfielder, 45, has urged Guehi to weigh up his options.

Vieira said: “If he came to me I would talk to him about it but I am not going to give him the answer.

"The answer has to come from him.

“And he will make the right decision for himself and his family, I have no doubt about that."
