Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has backed Mason Mount to play for England against Germany.

Chelsea midfielder Mount has been isolation after coming into contact with Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour last week.

But Maguire thinks Mount will be fit enough to face Germany on Tuesday.

Maguire told ITV: "For sure he's a fit lad, I think he's been doing work from a distance and working away from the group. I'm sure he's been doing a lot of running as well because there's not much you can do when you're working away from the group.

"His fitness will be there so I'm sure he'll be available, well I hope he'll be available because he's a big part of the team, as is Ben as well.

"It's been disappointing for those, we had to make sure we had to beat Czech Republic to put a smile on their faces as I'm sure they were kicking every ball watching it on TV. It's disappointing, but like I say I'm sure they'll be available."
