Luke Shaw Injured: Manchester United and England Confirm Absence
Concerns Raised After Halftime Substitution
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Luke Shaw was removed from the game against Aston Villa at halftime as a precautionary measure. The defender experienced some discomfort, and the coaching staff decided to take him off to avoid any potential aggravation.
Rule Out for England
England manager Gareth Southgate has subsequently confirmed that Shaw will not be available for the upcoming UEFA Nations League match against Denmark on Thursday. The decision was made after consultation with the United medical team, and Shaw will remain with the England squad for further assessment.
Assessment Needed
Ten Hag has stated that Shaw will undergo further evaluation to determine the extent of the injury. The club is hopeful that he will be able to return before the end of the season, but his availability for future games remains uncertain at this time.
Previous Injury Concerns
Shaw has had a history of leg injuries in the past. In November 2022, he was ruled out for several weeks with a calf injury. Prior to that, he missed significant time during the 2020/21 season due to an ankle injury.
Impact on Both Teams
Shaw's absence is a blow to both Manchester United and England. He has been a key player for both teams in recent seasons, providing stability at left-back. His injury will force both clubs to consider alternative options for the upcoming fixtures.
