Harry Maguire is set to make his first England appearance in eight months when Lee Carsley's side face Republic of Ireland on Thursday night.
Harry Maguire has received strong backing from England interim manager Lee Carsley after missing Euro 2024 through injury. Even though Maguire was not in the starting line-up for Manchester United's recent clash with Liverpool, he will reportedly be in the starting XI for the Three Lions' Nations League clash vs the Republic of Ireland.
"In the games that I've seen him play, I think he's got stronger as the games have gone on. Also, obviously, he didn't play in Manchester United's last game, but he's come into camp physically very, very good. The Mirror report that Maguire will join forces with Marc Guehi at the centre of defence in light of John Stones' questionable fitness. Meanwhile, following the failed experiment of Gareth Southgate playing Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield at Euro 2024, Trent is anticipated to return to his regular right-back role.
Speaking to ITV, Gordon expressed his disappointment at his lack of minutes during the tournament: "I was disappointed, because I believe in myself so much. I feel unstoppable, especially at that point of the season I had just had.".
