Harry Maguire has announced he is one of the players to have been cut from England’s Euro 2024 squad.
Boss Gareth Southgate will now name his 26-man squad for the tournament in Germany THIS ATERNOON after initially selecting 33 players in a provisional group.
Manchester United centre-half Maguire said on Instagram he was “devastated” to be one of the seven players who have been omitted, in his case due to a calf injury.
Maguire said: “I am devastated not to have been selected to play for England at the Euros this summer.
“Despite my best efforts, I have not been able to overcome an injury to my calf. Maybe I pushed myself too hard, to try and make it. Simply, I am absolutely gutted.
“For me, representing England is the highest honour. It means everything to me. If I can’t help the team as a player, I will support them as a fan – along with the rest of the country. Go and win it boys.
“Next, I will return to the supervision of the Manchester United medical team in order to prepare for next season.”
Albion skipper Lewis Dunk trained away from the main squad today ahead of the friendly versus Iceland.
