England centre-back Harry Maguire did not hold back after Ronald Araujo’s aggressive challenge on Phil Foden. He blasted referee Sven Jablonski for failing to issue a red card during the friendly draw against Uruguay at Wembley Stadium. The tackle forced Foden off with an injury and sparked heated protests from the England camp. Manager Thomas Tuchel was seen remonstrating with the fourth official before Cole Palmer replaced the injured playmaker, adding to World Cup fitness worries. Speaking to a broadcaster after the match, Maguire warned that allowing such challenges so close to a major tournament was “disappointing.” He urged his teammates to manage games better and focus on the positives from the workout. Despite the controversy, Maguire produced a crucial goal‐saving block in the final moments to secure the draw. His performance underlines his leadership as England finalises its World Cup squad.
