Harry Maguire 'set for showdown England talks'

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is to hold showdown talks with England boss Gareth Southgate following his arrest in Greece, according to a report.

The 27-year-old is alleged to have been involved in a brawl with Greek police on the island of Mykonos last Friday, leading to him spending two nights in a jail cell.

Maguire has since flown home and is now said to be sweating over his inclusion in England's squad for next month's Nations League games with Denmark and Iceland.

The Mirror claims that the centre-back is to hold talks with Southgate over the phone before his court hearing takes place on Tuesday.

That is the same day that Southgate will name his extended squad for the Three Lions' first games in 10 months.

Southgate has previously left the likes of Raheem Sterling, James Maddison and Wayne Rooney out of his squad following off-field incidents.
