- Defender could have faced a hearing before the summer
- Maguire’s appeal unlikely to be heard in 2021, official says
Harry Maguire is unlikely to be summoned to court for his appeal hearing in Greece this year amid a backlog in the country’s judicial system because of the coronavirus pandemic, leaving the Manchester United and England defender free to focus on his football, including the European Championship this summer.
Maguire was found guilty of aggravated assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery in August 2020 following a holiday on Mykonos and it was believed he would be called before the summer for an appeals court hearing on Syros, the capital of the Cycladic island chain.
