“Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has been seen breaking down in tears after another key player for the club suffered an injury during training amidbthe international break this morning. This is a really sad time for fans of Manchester United, since the injury appears to be a career-ending injury. There is another instance of the international break curse. This is the very last thing that Erik ten Hag would have wanted to witness! Despite the fact that they still have Brentford to face on March 30, 2024, this came out of nowhere 💔😥.
Confirmation has been received regarding Luke Shaw’s latest injury sustained during Manchester United’s victory over Luton Town a month ago, potentially ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
According to a brief statement released by United, Shaw is undergoing treatment for a muscular injury at Carrington, with the severity of the condition yet to be fully determined. Initial assessments suggest a significant absence of several months.
Despite his absence from the England squad during the international break, Shaw has been invited to continue his recovery at St. George’s Park, allowing him to remain engaged with the England camp.
Throughout Gareth Southgate’s tenure as England manager, Shaw has been a regular fixture as the first-choice left-back, notably scoring in the final of the 2020 European Championship.
Questions have arisen regarding Shaw’s availability for the upcoming European Championships in Germany, prompting speculation on his inclusion in the squad. Southgate, in an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, indicated that Shaw’s return may coincide with the end of the season, potentially impacting his participation in the summer tournament.
The unpredictable nature of injuries and the demands of major competitions like the European Championships add further complexity to the selection process, emphasizing the importance of player fitness and readiness.
Shaw’s potential return to action for Manchester United before season’s end could enhance his chances of representing England in the summer tournament.
Since making his debut for England in 2014, Shaw has earned 31 caps for the senior team, establishing himself as a key figure in the squad.
