Manchester United and England defender Harry Maguire has said he expects to be out for a “few weeks” with an injury that caused him to be substituted at half-time at Aston Villa on Sunday.
Centre-back Maguire had to be helped off the pitch during the 0-0 Premier League draw at Villa Park and was later seen wearing a protective boot.
“Frustrated to pick up an injury at the weekend,” the 31-year-old told his Instagram following of more than 5.3 million. “Will be a few weeks on the sideline for me but I’ll come back stronger.”

Carsley left Maguire on the bench for England’s 2-0 home win over Finland three days later and did not call him up for this month’s matches in the competition, facing Greece at Wembley on Thursday and visiting Helsinki on Sunday.
“I did really well in Ireland… there’s no hiding away from that,” Maguire said when he was asked about his omission, via The Mirror.
“So I was a little bit surprised, I must say. I back his decision and he’s told me I’m part of the future, so we’ll see what comes in [the] November [squad announcement].
“I actually at one point thought that Gary and Phil Neville might be fullbacks” 😅
