Maguire has been struggling with a calf injury, which prevented him from playing in Manchester United’s final four Premier League matches as well as their FA Cup victory over Manchester City. This injury has evidently impacted his fitness and availability for the national team.After the announcement of his exclusion, Maguire took to social media to share his feelings. He wrote, “I am devastated not to have been selected to play for England at the Euros this summer. Despite my best efforts, I haven’t been able to overcome an injury to my calf. It’s possible that I pushed myself too hard in an attempt to recover.”

Maguire continued, “To put it simply, I’m gutted. Serving England is the greatest honor for me. It’s incredibly important to me. Even though I can’t play, I will support the team as a fan, just like the rest of the country. Boys, go get it.” Looking ahead, Maguire outlined his plans for the pre-season, stating, “Next, I will return to working with the Manchester United medical team to prepare for next season.”

His commitment to recovery and his determination to return to peak fitness underscores his dedication to both his club and country. Maguire’s absence from the European Championships is undoubtedly a significant blow to England’s defensive lineup, but his focus is now firmly on regaining full fitness and making a strong comeback for Manchester United.This period will be crucial for Maguire as he works closely with the medical team to ensure he is ready for the challenges of the upcoming season. His fans and teammates will surely miss his presence on the field this summer, but his resolve to return stronger is evident. Maguire’s journey to recovery and preparation for next season will be watched keenly by those who recognize his contributions to both Manchester United and the England national team.
