In the 26-man Euro participation list released by England, Manchester United has 4 people elected, including captain Maguire, wingback Luke Shaw, striker Rashford and goalkeeper Dean Henderson. It is worth mentioning that Manchester United's four elected international players, three people have injuries. Just Mason Greenwood, who was already likely to be dropped from the squad, picked to be withdrawn from the squad due to injury.
Center back Maguire missed the rest of the season after he suffered a left ankle injury in Manchester United's 3-1 Premier League win over Aston Villa. Until today, Maguire has only been able to train at lightweight and looks certain to miss England's June 13 opener against Croatia.
Maguire's participation in England's other group stage matches is also in doubt. I can only do a little bit of running. I don't want to increase the amount of training too early, because there are still almost two weeks to go before the first match, and the European Cup is a long time. I will deal with the injury on a daily basis, I don't have a timetable at the moment, but I'm looking forward to competing. The injury can either improve significantly in a few days or recur.
Maguire, 28, said he would be a cheerleader for England if he could not compete. The Manchester United £80 million iron defender published that he wakes up every morning wishing that the pain in his ankle will go away. But most of the time there are no miracles in the world, just as he also wished to make a comeback before the UEFA Cup final, but the results did not accomplish the same.
I was afraid of missing it all, Maguire said. I knew it was a serious injury. When I got my scan results I knew I was unlikely to be involved in the UEFA Cup final, but we never gave up. I would jump out of bed and put weight on my ankle, which I probably shouldn't have done, but I always wanted to test it to see if the pain was still there. Every morning I woke up hoping the pain would be gone. Unfortunately, it didn't, and I knew the likelihood of starting the UEFA Cup final was slim, but I wanted to play my part. But now the injury is improving, so I'm just waiting for the Europa League.
Maguire, who had made 72 consecutive Premier League starts before his injury, added: After an injury, I usually try to keep playing. With my injury, it wasn't a shank by a Villa player, it was a sprain, so I knew for sure it was ligament damage. Obviously it was a really bad time for me. It was disappointing for the club and myself to play so many games without injury and to miss out on the end of season play-offs. I didn't have many injuries to begin with, some of those wild shovels that don't hurt you, and muscles that don't hurt, but are sprained as a result of being dropped by someone else. I can only wait for a quick return.
Along with Maguire, Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has also been plagued by injuries, sustaining a left wrist injury that requires immobilization in a cast. The cast on Luke Shaw's hand was visible while he was shopping with his girlfriend, Anuska Santos, on Tuesday afternoon. As a result, he will probably be out of the warm-up match against Austria the following day as a result. However, Luke Shaw's injury does not seem to be serious and he is still able to drive normally.
And Manchester United youth star Rashford, the second half of the season has been playing with injuries, and even thus affect the performance. Rashford's left shoulder and ankle have old problems, perhaps need to operate after the European Cup.
