Tuchel Reveals Centre-Back Pecking Order, Maguire Falls Behind

England manager Thomas Tuchel has dealt a significant blow to Harry Maguire's World Cup prospects, stating that the defender is currently fifth in the centre-back pecking order. Despite an impressive performance in the 1-1 friendly draw with Uruguay, Maguire falls behind Ezri Konsa, Marc Guehi, John Stones, and the injured Trevoh Chalobah. Tuchel praised Maguire's strengths, including his solid defensive play, calmness on the ball, and aerial ability, but emphasized that he prefers other players with different profiles. The German coach acknowledged that Maguire could be a valuable asset in a tournament setting, particularly in defending leads and set-pieces. However, when asked if Maguire would make the squad if it were named now, Tuchel remained non-committal, stating that he was happy with the defender's performance but had not changed his mind. Meanwhile, John Stones, who is currently injured, has been described as 'world-class' by Tuchel and may still be included in the squad despite his lack of playing time.
