Why isn’t Harry Maguire playing for England in UEFA World Cup Qualifying?
After sufferinga calf issue, Harry Maguire was subsitituedin the1-0 loss to Aston Villa a little over a week ago, and he has since missed games against Villarreal and Everton. Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer acknowledged after United’s 1-1 draw with Evertonthat he didn’t know how long the player would be away.
Thus, Maguire was ruled out of England’s next internationals against Andorra and Hungary, giving him time to prepare for next weekend’s Premier Leaguematch against Leicester. It is possible that the 28-year-old defender returns to training in mid or late October.
With Harry Maguire out with a calf injury,Fikayo Tomori returns to the England team as one of four center backs, where he may win his second senior appearance after earning his debut against Kosovo in theUEFA World Cup Qualifiersin November 2019.
