Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw will be out for a number of weeks with a muscle injury.
The 28-year-old defender is a mainstay of Erik ten Hag’s
side and started the first two Premier League matches of the season.
But Shaw will miss Saturday’s Old Trafford encounter against
Nottingham Forest and next weekend’s trip to Arsenal as well, it seems, as
England’s upcoming internationals.
The left-back is facing a number of weeks out with a muscle
injury that is still being assessed.
A club statement read: “Manchester United defender Luke Shaw
has sustained an injury which will rule him out of forthcoming games.
“The muscle issue is still being assessed but the England
left-back is expected to be out of action for a number of weeks.”
United and England will be hoping nothing worse crops up
during those assessments, especially with fellow left-back Tyrell Malacia also
sidelined through injury.
The Old Trafford club loaned out another left-back earlier
on Thursday, with Brandon Williams joining Ipswich for the remainder of the
campaign.
United had already announced an injury to Mason Mount ahead
of the Forest match and it remains unclear whether new boy Rasmus Hojlund will
be fit to make his debut.
Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo and Tom Heaton are also out,
while Harry Maguire missed the trip to Spurs with a knock.
The Red Devils are 12th in the Premier League table after a
win and a loss from their opening two matches.
