Harry Maguire has decided not to go on vacation this summer to focus on getting back in top shape for Euro 2024.

He missed the 2-1 win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final, but is looking to return to his best for the clash between England and Serbia in the first match of Euro 2024 on June 16 in Gelsenkirchen.

All of these names are now healing from wounds. To demonstrate that they are healthy enough to compete at the Euros, all three will complete three training sessions each day.

Prior to taking on Iceland at Wembley on June 7, the Three Lions will play a friendly match against Bosnia at St. James’ Park on Monday.

Following that, the remaining 26 players on the England roster will be sent to Germany to be housed at the concentration camp at Weimarer Land Span and Golf.

Southgate spoke out in support of Maguire, who was jeered by Scottish fans during England’s 3-1 win in September.

“Maguire is a fantastic player in one of the most successful Three Lions teams that England has ever produced,” the 53-year-old coach shared.

“Should we let him endure those insults? It’s a joke. It makes me angry. Luckily, Maguire still has support from the dressing room.”
