ENGLAND DEFENDER HARRY Maguire says he is \u201cshocked and gutted\u201d to have been left out of Thomas Tuchel\u2019s World Cup squad.<\/p>\n
The German coach will name his 26-man squad for this summer\u2019s shot at glory in North America on Friday morning and began making calls to players the previous day.<\/p>\n
Maguire was part of the England squad in March having received his first call-up under Tuchel, but the 66-cap defender has confirmed he will not be going to the World Cup.<\/p>\n
The Manchester United defender posted on Instagram: \u201cI was confident I could of (sic) played a major part this summer for my country after the season I\u2019ve had. I\u2019ve been left shocked and gutted by the decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve loved nothing more than putting that shirt on and representing my country over the years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish the players, all the best this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maguire went to the 2018 and 2022 World Cups and played a starring role in England\u2019s run to the Euro 2020 final.<\/p>\n
The centre-back failed to make the cut for Euro 2024 following a calf injury and, after 18 months in the international wilderness, played in both March friendlies under Tuchel.<\/p>\n
The Press Association understands United team-mate Luke Shaw has also been overlooked by Tuchel.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old has started every Premier League game this season but has yet to get a look in under the England boss.<\/p>\n
Other eye-catching calls could come to light before the squad is announced at around 10am on Friday.<\/p>\n
There are some headaches to consider, like how to juggle England\u2019s swathe of number 10 options \u2013 with Phil Foden and Cole Palmer sweating on their spots after unimpressive seasons.<\/p>\n
Jude Bellingham\u2019s relationship with Tuchel has been under the microscope but he is sure to be on the plane along with Morgan Rogers, with Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White also vying for a place.<\/p>\n
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a high-profile absentee this season but could benefit from Ben White\u2019s injury, although Tuchel admitted in November that the Real Madrid right-back was behind Jarell Quansah.<\/p>\n
The England boss needs reassuring over the fitness of Tino Livramento, who has been out for a month with a thigh injury, and is checking on Levi Colwill following the defender\u2019s promising return to action.<\/p>\n
Named in Tuchel\u2019s first two squads, the Chelsea centre-back underwent surgery on an anterior cruciate ligament injury in August and has made three appearances since returning this month.<\/p>\n
Key defender John Stones\u2019 lack of game time at Manchester City is a consideration, but the England boss said in March that he had \u201ca lot of credit in the bank\u201d.<\/p>\n
Dan Burn looks set to be included along with Marc Guehi and Ezri Konsa after Maguire\u2019s omission. Trevoh Chalobah is another fighting for his spot.<\/p>\n
Ollie Watkins will surely be recalled having been dropped in March.<\/p>\n
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Dominic Solanke were trialled as captain Harry Kane\u2019s back-up, but neither shone and the Aston Villa striker has scored 10 since being overlooked.<\/p>\n
Danny Welbeck, 35, is admired by the coaching staff but has not played for England since 2018.<\/p>\n
Kobbie Mainoo\u2019s resurgence at United puts him in with a strong shout, while Adam Wharton and James Garner \u2013 man of the match on his March debut against Uruguay \u2013 are pushing for inclusion.<\/p>\n
The Football Association has to submit a 26-man squad to FIFA on May 31 but can make changes to outfield players for medical reasons up until 24 hours before the Group L opener against Croatia on June 17.<\/p>\n
Only goalkeepers can be changed after this point. Brighton\u2019s Jason Steele is set to travel as a training goalkeeper \u2013 a role filled by Tom Heaton at Euro 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ENGLAND DEFENDER HARRY Maguire says he is \u201cshocked and gutted\u201d to have been left out of Thomas Tuchel\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":461259,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[135944,199774,61,60,199775,112],"class_list":["post-461258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-dropped","tag-engerland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-maguire","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=461258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461258\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/461259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=461258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=461258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=461258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
