Manchester United and England suffered another injury blow when Harry Maguire was sent for a scan following his early substitution in the Three Lions’ 1-0 defeat to Brazil.
Maguire joins the national team’s casualty list after Manchester City’s Kyle Walker limped off during Saturday’s match.
The departure of the key defender during the second half raised concerns, leading to a subsequent scan on Sunday.
Despite Gareth Southgate’s initial decision to replace Maguire, along with Ben Chilwell, as a precaution, the Man United star has been ruled out of Tuesday’s friendly against Belgium.
He has also returned to his club, as has Walker, with a series of injuries affecting Southgate’s team.
Manchester United suffered another injury blow after Harry Maguire went off in the 67th minute of England’s clash with Brazil.
The defender underwent an examination and is ruled out for the match against Belgium
It’s another injury scare for Erik Ten Hag, whose team has been plagued by absences this season.

The news will leave United manager Erik ten Hag anxious, especially with crucial upcoming games ahead, starting with Saturday’s Premier League visit to Brentford.
Maguire’s recent appearance for club or country was marred by his early exit after just 67 minutes, marking his first start since February 24.
His absence adds to United’s defensive woes, already missing players such as Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martínez and Tyrell Malacia.
Maguire had recently returned from a groin injury that sidelined him for five games over Christmas.
In addition to Maguire, there is also concern for Walker, who was only able to play the first 20 minutes of the tie.
After being replaced by Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa, the Manchester City right-back underwent a scan, with a suspected hamstring problem.
The 1-0 defeat also featured notable absences such as Bukayo Saka, Jack Grealish and Trent Alexander-Arnold, while Harry Kane is now receiving treatment at Bayern Munich for an ankle problem after watching the match from the sidelines. .
However, England’s chances for the next game against Belgium could be bolstered by the return of Jordan Henderson and Cole Palmer, who have returned to training since Saturday.
Brazil secured a victory against England with super substitute Endrick scoring the only goal of the match.
Southgate was keen to emphasize that he was happy with his team’s overall performance, despite Saturday night’s result ending a 21-match unbeaten run at Wembley.
But the more positive news is that Chelsea’s Cole Palmer is now available for the clash against Belgium.
Jordan Henderson is also available for Tuesday’s game, reinforcing the depleted squad
Gareth Southgate’s side face Belgium on Tuesday in their final match before the summer Euros.
“With 15 minutes left there were many changes and I think at that moment the public was very satisfied with the performance,” said the coach after the final whistle.
“Of course, when you lose the game, everything becomes negative, but we have to keep the context.”
