The England defender shared the disappointing news through his social media pages, where he admitted feeling deeply hurt by the decision. According to him, learning that he would miss out on the tournament left him shocked and devastated.
Reports monitored by Zoyols News revealed that Tuchel personally informed the defender ahead of the official announcement of the squad expected in the coming days.
Maguire had recently featured for England in friendly matches against Uruguay and Japan, completing the full match in one fixture while coming off the bench in the other.
Despite his involvement, it appears the coaching crew has decided to move in a different direction as Tuchel reportedly plans to build a younger and more energetic defensive line for the tournament.
Among the defenders expected to play key roles for England are Levi Colwill, Ezri Konsa and Marc Guéhi, all of whom are believed to be strongly considered for the World Cup squad.
Although Maguire remains one of England’s most experienced defenders and has maintained a relatively stable season with Manchester United, the latest development marks another major setback in his international career.
