England manager Thomas Tuchel warned that, despite his recent recall, Harry Maguire’s spot in the 2026 World Cup roster is far from secure, with as many as four Premier League rivals ahead of him in the international pecking order.
Maguire was included in his first England squad in 18 months for March’s friendlies. The Manchester United defender has enjoyed a resurgence of form under Michael Carrick at Old Trafford and played the full 90 minutes of Friday’s friendly against Uruguay, contributing a crucial block in the closing stages to preserve a 1–1 draw.
