Harry Maguire was substituted during England’s 6-2 win over Iran on Monday because he had “blurred vision”, according to Gary Lineker.
Maguire started the Three Lions’ opening World Cup match in Qatar but was forced from the pitch in the 70th minute due to injury. The Manchester United defender appeared to be in some discomfort after Mehdi Taremi made it 4-1 with a thumping finish for Iran off the underside of the crossbar.
After being assessed by the England medical team, he was replaced by Eric Dier. Unlike Iran, who left goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand on the pitch following a heavy collision in the early stages, England acted swiftly to remove Maguire from harm's way.
