Man United Captain Harry Maguire Has Been Removed From The England Squad By Coach Gareth Southgate.

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has been dropped from the England squad called up for international duty next month.


The 27-year-old had initially been included in Coach Gareth Southgate team list released earlier today despite ongoing trials at the Greek court, as the team prepares for the upcoming Nations League matches against Iceland on September 5 and Denmark on September 8.
