​A "shocked" Harry Maguire has ​been omitted from Thomas ‌Tuchel's ​England World Cup squad which is set to be unveiled on Friday ‌morning at Wembley Stadium.

The Manchester United central defender has won 66 international caps and been a mainstay of England's back ‌line at recent tournaments. Maguire announced the news in an ‌emotional Instagram post on Thursday. "I was confident I could have played a major part this summer for my country after the season I've ⁠had. ​I've been ⁠left shocked and gutted by the decision," the 33-year-old wrote.

"I've loved nothing ⁠more than putting that shirt on and representing my country ​over the years. I wish the players all the ⁠best this summer." Maguire was considered a shoo-in by many after a resurgent ⁠season ​at United as a key part of the club climbing to third in the Premier League and ⁠clinching a return to the Champions League.

Tuchel reportedly made calls ⁠on Thursday ⁠to players who did not make the cut for the tournament in the U.S., Canada ‌and ‌Mexico.
