A veteran of two World Cups, Maguire was expected to make the cut as seven players from the preliminary group are sent home, which must happen no later than after England face Iceland on Friday night. But he has cruelly had to give up seat on the plane to Germany. The Athletic was first to report the decision on Maguire, who hasn't played since April as a result of his ongoing calf issue.

"As part of thorough discussions at the Annual General Meeting, i...

BVB were unlikely finalists having conquered Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals and then Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals, but they failed to produce another upset and fell to an agonising defeat. Karim Adeyemi and Niclas Fullkrug spurne...
