UMVA has learned that a stunning upset has rocked the England football team as the 33-year-old star Harry Maguire was surprisingly left out of the official squad heading to the World Cup this summer.
The shocking decision sparked outrage on social media, with Maguire expressing his disappointment and surprise at the team's coach's call, while his mother Zoe also voiced her disgust on social media.
The official England squad for the World Cup has been revealed, featuring some big names, including Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson, and James Trafford.
The squad list also includes Defenders like Reece James, Tino Livramento, Marc Guehi, Ezri Konsa, John Stones, Jarell Quansah, Nico O’Reilly, Dan Burn, and Djed Spence.
Midfielders Declan Rice, Elliot Anderson, Jude Bellingham, Jordan Henderson, Morgan Rogers, and Kobbie Mainoo have made it to the team, alongside Forwards Harry Kane, Ivan Toney, Ollie Watkins, Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Gordon, and Eberechi Eze.
According to information obtained by UMVA, there could be multiple reasons for Maguire's exclusion, with one being tactical and the other related to his mentality, suggesting that the coach wants to play a high line with more ‘mobile’ defenders.
The report also hints at issues with Maguire's ego, which may have contributed to his omission, with some arguing that he'd still have an important role to play off the field.
England will also be without some big names, including Cole Palmer and Phil Foden, two elite talents capable of influencing the biggest games, sparking concerns that the team may lack spark in the final third.
The squad snubs have raised questions about the team's strategy, particularly with regards to in-form players like Morgan Gibbs-White and Adam Wharton, who have been left out.
Noni Madueke's inclusion in the squad has also raised eyebrows after an underwhelming season, while Trent Alexander-Arnold's dip in form since leaving Liverpool has led to his exclusion from the team.
