Harry Maguire admits missing the FA Cup final against Manchester United last season and then the Euros were the toughest moments of his career Gareth Southgate
decided not to call up Maguire for the Euros with a calf injury he suffered in the week before United’s FA Cup final against Manchester City. The
31-year-old defender admits the injury setbacks ahead of crucial games have been the toughest of his career.
“When I first got injured I thought I’d be fit for the FA Cup final,” Maguire revealed.
“So I just tried to push myself to be fit for the final. Then I picked up the injury the week before the final and missed it. Then I was fine. I was fit for the Euros but then I went to training with England and it flared up again. Yeah, it was frustrating. “In retrospect,
I wish I hadn’t been fit at the time so I wouldn’t have had to think about it. But I did think I’d be fit in the final and involved. And I thought I was going to the Euros, 100 per cent. “
But it didn’t happen and maybe I rushed myself to come back too soon but it was definitely the worst time in my career.”
Maguire also insisted that Ten Hag’s training was not the problem that caused his injuries.
“It’s not because he made us train too hard. In fact, towards the end he told us to slow down because there were too many injuries and we couldn’t miss anyone. ยูฟ่าเบท http://ufabet999.app I don’t know why it was painful. “
For me, I’ve never had a muscle injury in my entire career. But last season I was injured two or three times. Many teams had that problem last year. “
It might be because the World Cup came in the middle of the season. And since the start of the season, injury time in many games has meant I’ve played 100 minutes in one match. It might be because of everything, but it’s difficult to point out specifically.”
