The runners and riders to replace injured Man Utd ace Harry Maguire in England’s Euros squad

Gareth Southgate is sweating on the fitness of Harry Maguire ahead of Tuesday’s squad announcement for the European Championships. 

The Manchester United skipper is in a race against time to recover from an ankle injury that looks set to rule him out of next week’s Europa League final versus Villarreal. 

Here, Sportsmail looks at who could take his place in Southgate’s squad. 

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is a doubt for the Euros due to his ankle injury

England boss Gareth Southgate has been considering his other options in case Maguire doesn’t recover from his injury in time for this summer’s tournament

Adam Webster (Brighton)

A deeply impressive season for Brighton emerging as one Graham Potter side’s leaders, even wearing the armband in Lewis Dunk’s absence. 

Has quietly gone about his business in the heart of the Seagulls’ defence but his performances aren’t going unnoticed by Southgate.

The fact he is genuinely two-footed and comfortable in possession means he has all the attributes to be a clear contender for international recognition. 

His physical presence in both boxes is also an attractive trait, his headed goal in the recent win over Manchester City a case in point. 

Webster featured for England juniors at Under-18 and 19 level – but he is making a strong case for his first senior call up. 

Brighton’s Adam Webster has enjoyed a brilliant season and is being strongly considered

Ben Godfrey (Everton)

Has produced some excellent displays for Everton since arriving from Norwich in the summer. 

His versatility, playing across Carlo Ancelotti’s rearguard, a feature of the defender’s emergence as contender for international honours. 

The 23-year-old is at ease with the ball at his feet and England’s possession-based style will not daunt the youngster. 

The Euros may come too early for Godfrey, but he is certainly heading in the right direction. Surely an England career beckons. 

Ben Godfrey could slot into England’s system easily but the Euros may come too soon for him

Michael Keane (Everton)

Missed out on the previous but could benefit from Maguire’s potential absence through injury. 

His performances for Everton, certainly at the start of the season, were impressive and his experience of the international scene may work in his favour if Maguire fails to prove his fitness. 

But Southgate has shown a reluctance to play Keane and there is concern the England boss remains unconvinced about Keane. 

Michael Keane would be the obvious choice though there are concerns Southgate doubts him

James Tarkowski (Burnley)

Like Keane, Tarkowski is no stranger to international football having already made two appearances for England. 

But his last England call up came prior to World Cup 2018 and there is doubt over whether the international boat has sailed for Tarkowski. 

Burnley have battled relegation this season, but Tarkowski remains widely recognised as an excellent out and out defender. 

But doubts over his ability on the ball could hinder any hopes he has of breaking back into Southgate’s plans.

Rob Holding (Arsenal)

Another mooted for a senior England call. 

Injury has stunted his momentum somewhat but he is fit again and back in the Arsenal team. 

He may be an outside bet but Holding is a player well known to England staff, the central defender has five Under-21 caps to his name. That always helps. 

The Euros will likely come too soon for Holding, but if he can hold down a regular place in Mikel Arteta’s plans next season then who knows. 

Arsenal’s Rob Holding has had a solid season but is considered an outside bet for a call-up
