Maguire 'Gutted' to Be Left Out of England World Cup Squad
Harry Maguire says he will miss the 26-man England squad after Thomas Tuchel used two friendlies to finalize selections.
- On Thursday, England head coach Thomas Tuchel excluded defender Harry Maguire from his 26-man World Cup squad, ending the 33-year-old's participation in this summer's tournament.
- Tuchel largely overlooked Maguire since taking charge in late 2024, citing injury struggles, though the defender returned to Manchester United's lineup in January and played in March friendlies.
- Maguire, who earned 66 England caps, tweeted on Thursday: "I've been left shocked and gutted by the decision." He expressed confidence he could have contributed significantly this summer.
- His absence opens opportunities for centre-back hopefuls Dan Burn, Levi Colwill, and Jarell Quansah, as the Three Lions prepare for group-stage matches against Croatia, Ghana, and Panama.
- Tuchel will officially announce the full roster on Friday morning, with England beginning its World Cup campaign in Dallas, Texas, against Croatia on June 17 under new leadership.
