Tuchel sees other centre-backs ahead of Maguire as England confirm squad changes - Soccer News
"I haven't changed my mind [on Maguire], but I see other players I like to start for us, I see other players ahead with a different profile."
"I see Ezri Konsa ahead. I see Marc Guehi ahead. It's no secret. I see Trevoh Chalobah, on the level of mobility, was slightly ahead of him."
"He has an asset that can also be super-important in a tournament, in knockout football, in defending a lead and chasing a game with crosses and long throw-ins and set-pieces."
"Solid, solid central-defender play. That's what he does. Very good on the ball, very calm, strong in the air and the weapon for set-pieces."
Harry Maguire's recent performances for Manchester United have earned him a return to the England squad. Despite a solid display against Uruguay, Thomas Tuchel indicated that Maguire is not currently a top choice, citing other players with preferred profiles. Tuchel acknowledged Maguire's strengths, particularly in set-pieces and defensive situations, but emphasized the need to assess his integration within the team. An updated England squad has been announced for an upcoming friendly against Japan, with several players leaving due to injuries.
