More than a week after Didier Deschamps announced his list of Blues selected for the 2026 World Cup, it is Thomas Tuchel’s turn to unveil his for England. The boss of the Three Lions will take care of it this Friday, but some of his choices have already leaked and have since caused a lot of commotion.
The main surprise was confirmed this Thursday. Harry Maguire will not play in the World Cup. It was the Manchester United defender who said it himself. Since then, the reactions have been extremely numerous and on social networks, the footballer’s own mother, Zoe Maguire, has cried foul. First with a first message: “Totally disgusted. »
Then Harry Maguire posted on X to announce the news.
“I was convinced that I could have played a major role this summer for my country after the season I had. I was left in shock and upset by the decision. There is nothing I have loved more than wearing this jersey and representing my country over the years. »
Harry Maguire, his mother outraged by the choice of Thomas Tuchel
Enough to make his mother react again. “You couldn’t have done more. Keep your head straight. It’s a shame. » Called in recent years by Gareth Southgate to the Three Lions while he had complicated seasons with Manchester United, Harry Maguire is therefore put aside by Thomas Tuchel even though he has just had a season much better than his previous ones.
The reactions of English tweeters were numerous to express their incomprehension regarding this choice. And this Friday, Thomas Tuchel should raise even more questions. According to Dailymail, Phil Foden (Manchester City), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Luke Shaw (Manchester United) or Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest) and other players will not be traveling with England.
