England coach Gareth Southgate has revealed Harry Maguire was subbed off during their World Cup win over Iran due to illness.

The Manchester United star lasted just 70 minutes as the Three Lions kicked off their World Cup campaign with an impressive 6-2 victory.

Maguire looked to be in discomfort as he was helped off the pitch by two England medics.

And speaking after the game, Southgate said his star centre-back was struggling due to illness.

The incident occurred moments after Mehdi Taremi fired home the first of his two goals for Iran on 65 minutes.

And Southgate admits Maguire had warned the England bench about his problem shortly before the goal went in.
