England manager Thomas Tuchel is set to name his squad for the upcoming European Championship, but a string of high-profile omissions is causing controversy. Among those seemingly missing out are Manchester United defender Harry Maguire and Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden. The Daily Mail has reported that Cole Palmer, another Manchester City player, is also at risk of being left out.
Maguire, who was a regular starter for England under Gareth Southgate, is said to be 'gutted' by the news, according to a source close to the player. Foden, meanwhile, has been linked with a move away from Manchester City in the summer, and it's possible that Tuchel is looking to give other players a chance to stake their claim.
Tuchel has been under pressure to select a more competitive squad, and these omissions may be seen as a bold move to shake up the team. However, it's worth noting that the Euros are still several weeks away, and there's plenty of time for Tuchel to change his mind. The squad is set to be announced on May 25th.
The decision to leave out Maguire and Foden may also have implications for their club teams. Maguire has been a key player for Manchester United, and his absence may be felt in the defence. Foden, meanwhile, has been one of Manchester City's most creative players, and his omission may give other midfielders an opportunity to shine.
As the squad announcement approaches, fans are eagerly waiting to see who will make the cut. The decision to leave out Maguire and Foden is set to spark a lively debate among football fans, and it will be interesting to see how the team performs without these two key players.
