Manchester United Manager Erig Ten Hag broke down in tears as another Key Manchester United player goes off injured during International break training this morning, a very sad moment for Man U fans as the injury seems to be a career ending injury
Luke Shaw, a defender for Manchester United, has joined England to go through more rehab for a muscle problem.
Shaw hurt his muscle again in last month’s win over Luton Town, and it was revealed that he might not be able to play for the rest of the season because of it.
United released a short statement saying, “Luke Shaw has hurt his muscle and will be out for a long time.” We need to do more tests to figure out how bad it is, but we expect him to be missing for a few months.
Shaw started healing from his injury at Carrington. Because of this, he wasn’t able to be picked for the England team for the international break. However, he’s been invited to St. George’s Park to continue his recovery near the England camp, so he can still play.
Since Gareth Southgate became England manager, the defender has been the first choice at left back for a lot of the time. He got the only goal for England in the Euro 2020 final.
Southgate was recently asked if Shaw has a chance of making the England team for the Euros in Germany this summer. He told BBC Radio 5 Live: “Well, we’d have to say yes because his schedule suggests he’ll only be available near the end of the season.” You don’t know what kind of player you’ll get.
Southgate also talked about how hard it is to play in a big event like the Euros and how tough you have to be. He said, “Clearly, going into a seven-game tournament… one of the great things we’ve been able to learn in two of the three tournaments we’ve played in is that we’ve had to play all seven games, which is very hard on the body.”
“We might have everybody that’s currently injured back and available but how fit and how match fit and how robust to get through a tournament, we’re going to have to work that out as well in the next few months.”
Shaw could play again for United before the end of the season if his recovery goes well. That would make it more likely that he will start for England this summer.
The 28-year-old first played for England in 2014 and has since won 31 senior games.
