In a significant development for Manchester United, left-back Luke Shaw has made a comeback to training, signaling positive news for the team as they prepare for the upcoming Premier League fixture against Everton.
Our cameras at Carrington have captured compelling images of Shaw actively participating in training sessions with the main group, marking his return after dealing with a “muscle issue” that sidelined him since August. The England international’s early-season appearances were limited to the opening two games against Wolves and Tottenham Hotspur.
Shaw’s return is a welcome sight for manager Erik ten Hag, who faced defensive challenges with injuries to both Shaw and fellow left-back Tyrell Malacia. Malacia has been sidelined since the summer tour of the United States, creating a void that various players, including Sergio Reguilon, Sofyan Amrabat, Diogo Dalot, and Victor Lindelof, attempted to fill during Shaw’s absence.
The injury concerns extend beyond the left-back position, with Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund joining the list of absentees before the international break. Additionally, Andre Onana sustained an injury while representing Cameroon.
As United aims to address its injury woes and strengthen the squad for the Everton clash, Shaw’s return adds a crucial element to the defensive setup. With Ten Hag likely to provide further updates in his upcoming press conference, anticipation builds for how the team will navigate the challenges and capitalize on the return of key players.
