Manchester United’s left-back, Luke Shaw, has suffered a muscle injury that will keep him out for several weeks. Shaw has been a key player for Erik ten Hag’s team and has started the first two Premier League matches of the season. Unfortunately, he will miss the upcoming matches against Nottingham Forest and Arsenal, as well as England’s internationals.
A statement from the club stated, “Luke Shaw has sustained an injury that will prevent him from playing in the upcoming games. The extent of the muscle issue is still being evaluated, but it is expected that the England left-back will be sidelined for a few weeks.” The assessments will determine the severity of the injury and how long Shaw will be out of action. This news is worrisome for both United and England, especially since Tyrell Malacia, another left-back, is also injured. Additionally, Brandon Williams has been loaned out to Ipswich, further depleting United’s left-back options.
In addition to Shaw’s injury, Mason Mount, Rasmus Højlund, Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, and Tom Heaton are also unavailable for selection. Harry Maguire missed the match against Spurs due to a knock he received. Overall, injuries have plagued Manchester United at the start of the season.
Chelsea is also dealing with a long list of injuries. Mykhailo Mudryk, their Ukrainian forward, suffered an injury in training, making him the ninth player unable to play. The exact nature of Mudryk’s injury has not been disclosed, but Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino remains optimistic, stating that it should not keep him out for an extended period. Other injured players for Chelsea include Reece James, who suffered a hamstring injury, and Christopher Nkunku, who recently underwent knee surgery and is not expected to return until November.
Pochettino explained that these injuries are unfortunate and not necessarily related to training methods. He acknowledged that bad luck plays a role in some cases, such as with Carney Chukwuemeka, who scored in the loss against West Ham but had to undergo knee surgery. Despite the injuries, Pochettino remains positive and believes that some players will recover sooner than initially anticipated.
Looking ahead, Pochettino discussed the possibility of new signings for Chelsea, particularly in the goalkeeper and offensive player positions. He emphasized the need to balance adding experienced players while also allowing young talents to develop.
There is a glimmer of good news for Chelsea as Moisés Caicedo, their British record signing, could make his first start for the club. However, Roméo Lavia may have to wait a few weeks before being involved with the team.
