BURTON-UPON-TRENT, England (AP) — England coach Gareth Southgate is planning to give Harry Maguire an immediate recall to the squad for Nations League games next month after the defender was granted a retrial following his arrest for assault in an incident in Greece.
Maguire was called up by Southgate last week for upcoming qualifiers against Iceland and Denmark, only to get dropped the same day after being convicted and handed a suspended 21-month sentence for assaulting a police officer, swearing, resisting arrest and attempted bribery.
The Manchester United captain has since filed an appeal against his conviction and will get a retrial in a more senior court on a date yet to be announced.
