Luke Shaw: Manchester United defender back in training after three months out

Must read

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has returned to training following three months out with injury.

The England left-back, who has not played for the club since February, sustained a calf injury in early August.

He had been expected to return after the international break in October but former manager Erik ten Hag said Shaw had suffered a “setback”.

Shaw injured his hamstring in February which ruled him out of the remainder of the last Premier League season.

However, he was selected in England’s squad for Euro 2024 and started the final defeat by Spain after missing the group phase.

United welcomed back Christian Eriksen and Mason Mount from injury during the side’s 2-0 Europa League win against PAOK on Thursday.

Leny Yoro, a summer signing from Lille, is yet to make his competitive debut for the club after fracturing his foot in pre-season but is now back in training.

Interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy says the club’s injury problems are starting to ease.

“Christian played 30 minutes and Mason also played,” said Van Nistelrooy.

“It’s beneficial for us and I’m happy that they’re back. For the long-term absentees like Luke and Leny they are on the pitch with us.”
