Why Injured Man United Defender Shaw Joined Up With England Squad

Luke Shaw has joined up with the England squad despite the Manchester United full-back being left out of the camp because of injury.

Shaw has battled injuries throughout the season; with another setback in February, he was unable to play in any of United’s last six games. The defender, who had been out of commission for months, got back together with the other Three Lions players before their friendlies against Belgium and Brazil, according to Manchester World.

Shaw travelled to St. George’s Park where the England squad are preparing for the upcoming matches and the defender will continue his individual rehabilitation programme, though he is not expected to join any training sessions with his co-stars.

Shaw has only made 15 appearances for United in all competitions this season; it is unknown when he will be ready for Erik ten Hag’s squad. There is still hope, though, that he may be allowed to play for England this summer at Euro 2024.

The 28-year-old will keep focusing on his rehabilitation and fitness in an effort to return to the United pitch soon and increase his chances of competing in the international competition in Germany.
