Man Utd star risks missing out on England’s Euro 2024 squad as fresh update emerges

Manchester United centre-back Harry Maguire could miss out on England’s 26-man squad for the European Championship as a result of his injury, according to the Telegraph.

The Red Devils star was included in the initial 33-man preliminary list as Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate was hoping he would be fit before the submission of the final squad on Friday.

However, Maguire missed England’s final training session ahead of the final warm-up game against Iceland, going through an individual programme instead.

The 31-year-old has been out with a muscle injury that ruled him out of the FA Cup final against Man City, and his last game for Man United was on April 27 against Burnley.

While there has been no confirmation from Southgate or the Football Association that Maguire will be dropped from the final squad, sources close to the team believe he could be prevented from being part of the final group that travels to Germany due to his injury.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison and his Liverpool counterpart Curtis Jones have already been told they will not be going to Euro 2024, and the Man United defender could be next.

Maguire and Man City star John Stones have been the preferred centre-back pairing for England in recent years, but that partnership is set to end from the look of things, with Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi likely to be given the nod.

Missing out on the Euros will be a big blow for Maguire and Man United for plenty of reasons.

Not going to the tournament will see the defender miss a chance to play for his future at the Old Trafford club, with a new manager likely to be in charge next term.

Maguire could be sold even if Ten Hag or someone else is in the dugout next season, and Euro 2024 would have given him the perfect chance to impress potential suitors, but he will be watching the tournament from home from the look of things in what is a huge blow.
