Luke Shaw will spend a few weeks on the sidelines <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Luke Shaw has been ruled out for several weeks in an injury blow to Manchester United and England.<\/p>\n
United are still waiting to assess the severity of the left-back\u2019s muscle problem but he is certain to miss next season Sunday\u2019s pivotal clash away at Arsenal and this weekend\u2019s home game against Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
Shaw could also sit out the start of United\u2019s Champions League campaign as well as an Old Trafford meeting with early season leaders Brighton.<\/p>\n
With his deputy Tyrell Malacia also injured, it means manager Erik ten Hag does not have a senior specialist left-back, with right-back Diogo Dalot perhaps the likeliest candidate to slot in as United look for their first win of the season.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
Ten Hag has lost a second England international this week, with Mason Mount also out with a hamstring strain he sustained in Saturday\u2019s defeat to Tottenham.<\/p>\n
England manager Gareth Southgate will probably have to be without Shaw, and perhaps Mount, for the September games against Ukraine and Scotland.<\/p>\n
Shaw represents another defensive concern for Southgate for the two matches, with Reece James and Tyrone Mings definitely out and John Stones a doubt. Ben Chilwell would be the likeliest beneficiary of Shaw\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n
