Harry Maguire has revealed he won’t be joining the England national team for Euro 2024 due to an ongoing ankle injury.

Maguire, often a fixture in England’s international squad under manager Gareth Southgate, will experience his first absence from the squad of 26 players set to compete in Euro 2024 in Germany starting from June 15. Taking to social media to express his disappointment about missing out on Euro 2024 with the England squad, Harry Maguire wrote: “I’m deeply disappointed not to be selected to play for the England national team at this summer’s Euro. Despite my best efforts, I haven’t been able to recover from the ankle injury.

“I may have pushed too hard to be fit for this tournament. And ultimately, I’m truly gutted. Representing England is the highest honor for me.

“It means everything to me. If I can’t contribute on the field as a player, I will support them as a fan – along with the rest of the nation. Carry on and bring it home, my teammates.

“Next, I’ll return under the medical supervision of the Manchester United team to prepare for the upcoming season.”
