Thomas Tuchel excludes Harry Maguire from England squad amid uncertainty

Harry Maguire's future with the England national team has become uncertain after manager Thomas Tuchel revealed that his exclusion from the recent squad was due to tactical reasons rather than fitness issues. Tuchel emphasized that although Maguire has been dealing with a calf injury, it was not the primary reason for his omission, as he chose to select Marc Guehi and Ezri Konsa instead due to their current form. This decision raises concerns for Maguire ahead of the upcoming World Cup, especially as he has struggled with his club, Manchester United, where he is adapting to a back three formation amid team struggles. Tuchel acknowledged Maguire's professionalism and noted that he had expressed support for the squad by sending messages of good luck. Meanwhile, United manager Ruben Amorim is looking to build on recent positive results as they prepare to face Nottingham Forest, hoping for a clean bill of health for his players, including Maguire. United has been gaining momentum with recent victories, and their focus remains on securing a Champions League spot through the Europa League.
