Soccer-England's Maguire grateful to be in Euros after injury

England defender Harry Maguire will be at the heart of Gareth Southgate's defence in Wednesday's Euro 2020 semi-final against Denmark, but he did not know if he would be fit enough to even make the squad after an ankle injury in May. Maguire suffered ligament damage in Manchester United's May 9 Premier League match with Aston Villa and missed the rest of the domestic season and his club's Europa League final loss to Villarreal. He missed England's warm-up games and opening two matches in the Euros' group stage but returned in the final group fixture with Czech Republic and has been alongside John Stones since then.
