Harry Maguire recently disclosed that he won’t be gracing the field with the England national team during Euro 2024 due to an ongoing ankle injury.

A familiar face in England’s lineup under the helm of Gareth Southgate, Maguire’s absence marks a notable shift as the team gears up for the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany from June 15 onwards.

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.”

Looking ahead, Maguire intends to focus on his recovery under the care of Manchester United’s medical team, preparing himself for the challenges of the upcoming season.

His journey with the England national team has been storied, spanning pivotal tournaments such as the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Euro 2020 where England reached the final, and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
