Maguire was called up to Gareth Southgate's preliminary 33-m𒉰an party but joined James Maddison and Curtis Jones in🐷 leaving camp ahead of Friday's friendly meeting with Iceland at Wembley Stadium.

The 31-ye🌊ar-old has not played since April due to a calf injury, but it was hoped he wou꧅ld recover in time, having been key for Southgate in previous tournaments.

Maguire trained individually on Thurs🔴day before reports claimed he had not been selected, and that news was confirmed by the player himself.

In a post on X, Maguire wrote: "I am devastated not to have been selected to play for England at the Eu൲ros this summer.

"Despite my best efforts, I have not been able to overcome an injury to my c🅺alf. M🍌aybe I pushed myself too hard, to try and make it. Simply, I am absolutely gutted.

"For me, representing England is the highest honour. It means everything to me. If I can’t help the team as a player,🔥 I will support them as a fan – along with the rest of the country. Go and win it boys.

"Next, I will return to the supervision of the Manchester United medic🍌al team in order to prepare f🍨or next season."

Reports also suggested that Jack Grealish haꦚ🎐s been cut from the squad.

The Manchester City winger was re🌳duced 💖to a substitute role in England's friendly against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Monday, but impressed after coming off the bench to assist Trent Alexander-Arnold's goal.

However, he struggled for form last season, scoring just three go🥀als in 36 appeara🙈nces in all competitions. 

James Traf𒊎ford, Jarell Quansah and Jarrad Branthwaite are the other players expected to miss out on a place in the Three Lions'&nbs🍌p;squad, which had to be cut down to 26.
