Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has expressed his disappointment after sustaining yet another injury that will sideline him for several weeks.
According to club sources, this is a new injury and not a recurrence of a previous one. The 29-year-old has struggled with fitness this season, making only three substitute appearances after being out of action since February due to an earlier injury.
“It is hurting a lot having to write this as I really thought I had got through my recent struggles and was on a positive path going forward, but unfortunately I’ve had a small setback,” Shaw wrote in a heartfelt post on social media.
“I’ve been through a lot and had a lot of ups and downs, but this has been my toughest period.
“I’m absolutely devastated and it’s extremely tough to come to terms with reality at this time.
“I understand there’s going to be people frustrated, angry, disappointed and I understand all that. There is no-one feeling that more than me at this moment in time.”
Despite his ongoing injury troubles, Luke was included in Shaw Gareth’s squad for Euro 2024. He featured in two knockout stage matches as a substitute before starting in the 2-1 final loss to Spain, which marked his most recent competitive appearance.
Luke Shaw returned to club action on November 24, coming of the bench in Ruben Amorim’s debut match as United‘s manager against Ipswich Town.
