Amorim explains Maguire's role

Ruben Amorim explained that Harry Maguire's late introduction as an attacking substitution against Nottingham Forest was due to the state of the game.

Trailing by a goal with two minutes of normal time to go, Maguire displaced Yoro for the final moments at The City Ground, bringing about a reshuffle in our shape.

While the defender is known for his prowess in the air, it was an unfamiliar attacking role that he occupied after being brought off the bench - although he was well-placed on two occasions, for a handful of openings in stoppage-time in the East Midlands.
