Harry Maguire Turned Out To Be Replaced Not Because Of An Injury, But Because Of This

JAKARTA - The England national team achieved positive results in their inaugural match at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Monday, November 21. They hit Iran with a landslide score of 6-2.

However, there is something that worries the supporters of The Three Lions. Their mainstay defender, Harry Maguire, was pulled out in the 70th minute and replaced by Eric Dier.

While off the pitch, Maguire was accompanied by a medical team. It is suspected that the Manchester United player suffered an injury due to a concussion examination.

However, that concern was denied by England manager Gareth Southgate. He said Maguire suddenly suffered from unexplained illness.

"Harry Maguire felt sick. (He) felt it before the goal (Iran first). There's no point in going on, but there's no reason to worry," Southgate said, after the game, as quoted by Live Score, Tuesday, November 22.

Maguire himself revealed his condition through his Twitter account. He admitted that he was not feeling well in the second half.

"I didn't feel well in the second half so I came out as a precaution. It was ready for Friday," Maguire tweeted.
