'He's Progressing But...': Erik ten Hag Gives Update on Luke Shaw's Recovery From Calf Injury
News 18Manchester United left back Luke Shaw is still not ready for Wednesday’s League Cup game at home to Barnsley, manager Erik Ten Hag said on Monday, while Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez, and Noussair Mazraoui will be available for the clash. Shaw sustained a calf injury at the start of pre-season training and was expected to return after the international break but Ten Hag said he cannot put a definitive time scale on the 29-year-old’s comeback. “First, Luke Shaw, he’s progressing but not ready yet to be selected,” Ten Hag told reporters. You can’t think, you can’t make a suggestion because there are so many factors why a plan can accelerate or slow down.” Ten Hag said United’s full back Mazraoui and centre back pair de Ligt and Martinez are ready for the League Cup after they were substituted in the second half of their 3-0 win at Southampton on Saturday.
