Gareth Southgate provides update on Harry Maguire England return

Gareth Southgate has confirmed that Manchester United captain Harry Maguire will be welcomed back into the England camp next month following his arrest in Mykonos. He has been granted an appeal after he was initially handed a 21-month suspended prison sentence for a number of charges relating to a clash with police officers. Greek justice dictates his initial guilty verdict is squashed until a retrial takes place, with Maguire claiming that if anything he and his family were the victims in the ordeal. However, the Three Lions manager was adamant that after sitting these two matches out, Maguire will return to the fold next month. “I think we've talked right the way through very openly and honestly, and, of course, Harry would prefer to be here with the team,” Southgate said. “He wants to play football and he wants to be part of it. “But I think with everything that's gone on in his life in the last couple of weeks it was so important that he's been able to let everything just calm down, get some more time on holiday. He hasn't really had any sort of a break. He had four, five days and then this huge intrusion into his life from everywhere. “It has clearly been a really difficult period for him and the last few days have been very important for him to relax, get away from all the attention. Events that happened in Greece really dominated. "So, he now has the chance to re-energise, get back to training with his club and then all being well he'll be with us in October.” Source- Daily and Sunday Express
