Harry Maguire spoke out on shocking decision to leave him off England's World Cup roster
The 33-year-old did not get the call-up from Thomas Tuchel.
When you have a talent pool as deep as England, there is inevitably going to be a player who feels snubbed with a World Cup roster decision. And that's exactly what longtime England defender Harry Maguire is dealing with on Thursday. A day before England head coach Thomas Tuchel was set to announce his 26-man roster for the World Cup in the U.
S. , Canada and Mexico, the Manchester United defender revealed that he did not make that final squad. Phil Foden and Cole Palmer also reportedly won't hear their names called at the live event at Wembley Stadium.
Maguire — who turned 33 in March — had made 66 appearances for the Three Lions including trips to the World Cup in 2018 (where he scored against Sweden in the quarterfinal) and 2022. On Thursday, he preempted Tuchel's announcement to express his disappointment on Twitter/X. I was confident I could of 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’ve loved nothing more than putting that shirt on and representing my country over the years. I wish the players, all the… pic.
