Heartbreaking news has been announced about Luke Shaw this morning. 💔 This shouldn’t happen to a footballer this is so sad 😢
Luke Shaw’s absence from the upcoming matches against Brazil and Belgium next month deals a heavy blow to manager Ten Hag, who has grappled with a slew of injuries this season, particularly in defense. The void left by Shaw exacerbates the challenges faced by Ten Hag, as Lisandro Martinez will also be out for around eight weeks due to a knee muscle injury. This compounds the defensive issues, leaving a gap in the lineup.
Finding a replacement for Shaw is a daunting task for United, given the limited options at left-back. Tyrell Malacia, their usual choice, has been sidelined all season due to knee surgery, while the premature end of Sergio Reguilon’s loan has further narrowed their defensive choices. Victor Lindelof and Sofyan Amrabat have struggled to fill Shaw’s shoes adequately, leaving United in a defensive quandary.
Shaw’s muscle injury requires further assessment, but United anticipates a lengthy absence, possibly several months. This adds to their existing injury worries and presents a significant challenge for Ten Hag as he navigates a demanding fixture schedule.
