The squad selection has sparked significant discussion, particularly due to the absence of long-time defensive stalwart Harry Maguire.
Harry Maguire, a key figure in Gareth Southgate’s defensive lineup over the past few years, has been omitted from the squad for the first time in a considerable period. Southgate, known for his unwavering support of Maguire, had to make this tough decision owing to an injury concern. Maguire sustained a calf injury in mid-April, and despite his efforts to recover in time, he has not been deemed fit enough to participate in the tournament.
