Harry Maguire point made as Wolves star Max Kilman misses out
There was mixed news for Wolves’ England stars as Gareth Southgate named his squad for the upcoming round of internationals.
Conor Coady was selected again but there was disappointment for fellow centre-back Max Kilman, who missed out despite his outstanding form for Bruno Lage’s side this season.
Harry Maguire, John Stones, Tyrone Mings, Marc Guehi and Ben White are the other centre-backs Southgate opted for instead of Kilman. England face Switzerland on March 26 before a meeting with Ivory Coast on March 29.
“He’s [Kilman] very much on our radar,” said Southgate of Kilman.
“He’s one of a number that we tracked closely. I think Marc Guehi, his consistency and the way he’s played over a long period with Crystal Palace, calm with the ball, aggressive without it, quick, mobile - Ben White also has that mobility and speed as well. He’s playing in a pressurised environment so it’s going to be good for us to see those two a bit more closely. But the door is always open.”
Here’s a taste of how Wolves fans have reacted to Kilman’s omission from the squad…
So pleased for Conor but think it was unfortunate for Max that Southgate saw one of his weakest performances [against Crystal Palace] but it was a difficult time for him! Your time will come Max.
Cause he doesn’t play for so called big 6 that’s why.
Tyrone Mings and Harry Maguire are both massively overrated, Mings in particular. Goodness knows why they are in the squad. Kilman every time..
If he played for United and Maguire played for Wolves. Kilman would be an England starter and there would be no chance in hell Maguire would get anywhere near the squad.
Disappointing that kilman is not part of the squad.
He blew it by giving away a stupid penalty with
