Harry Maguire excluded from England squad as shock inclusion likely to be named

The 33-year-old Man United defender is set to miss out.

The 33-year-old, who has been an instrumental part to previous Three Lions campaigns, has made 66 appearances for his national team.

Making his debut for England in October 2017 against Lithuania, the Man United man has also provided some considerable moments for Gareth Southgate's side at the time.

A mainstay in the side since the World Cup of 2018, he most-notably headed home a brilliant header in the World Cup quarterfinals v Sweden during the tournament in Russia.

Then came the thumping penalty in the final of Euro 2020 v Italy, before he started consistently in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

So, who is likely to succeed Maguire? We find out.

It's understood that Tuchel is weighing up a shock inclusion of Levi Colwill of Chelsea FC, as per the report.

This leaves Maguire out of the squad, with Dan Burn also reportedly likely to be omitted.

Colwill has impressed Tuchel since returning from injury, with Anthony Gordon also likely to be on the plane, despite his Newcastle United absences.

Maguire breaks silence on being left out

Maguire has spoken directly to talkSPORT since being left out of the squad: “I was confident I could have played a major part this summer for my country after the season I’ve had. I’ve been left shocked and gutted by the decision. I wish the players all the best.”
