Harry Maguire is back! Manchester United captain rejoins his England team-mates for training

Harry’s back! Manchester United captain Maguire rejoins his England team-mates for training in huge boost to Gareth Southgate ahead of Euro 2020 opener against Croatia

Harry Maguire has handed Gareth Southgate a huge boost as he returned to full training with the England squad on Thursday. 

The defender had been working alone in the gym following his recovery from an ankle problem that kept him out of Manchester United‘s Europa League final defeat by Villarreal.

It means the Three Lions boss now has all 26 members of his squad available for their opening Group D clash with Croatia.

The Manchester United defender has been absent since picking up an ankle injury in May 

Southgate had appeared to be experimenting with Maguire’s United team-mate Luke Shaw on the left of a back three in training this week, as he assessed all his options at the back.   

However, Maguire could still slot straight back into the line-up on his return from injury, such is his standing in the England side.

Maguire has been a mainstay of Southgate’s England side and one of the first name’s on the team sheet – playing every minute of the qualifying campaign for 2020.
