Manchester United star Luke Shaw has admitted he is going through his ‘toughest period’ after revealing he has suffered an injury.
Shaw has made three substitute appearances in recent weeks as the left-back worked his way back from a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
The 29-year-old made his return against Ipswich last month, marking his first appearance for Man United since February.
Shaw had regained fitness to play for England at the 2024 European Championship, but suffered a calf injury ahead of the new Premier League season.
In a statement, Shaw said he is ‘absolutely devastated’ after confirming he has suffered a ‘minor setback’.
“Hello guys, it hurts a lot to have to write this because I really thought I had gotten through my recent struggles and was on a positive path for the future, but unfortunately I have had a minor setback,” Shaw wrote.

‘I’ve been through a lot and had a lot of ups and downs, but this has definitely been my toughest period.
‘I am absolutely devastated and it is extremely difficult to face the reality at the moment.
“I understand that there will be people frustrated, angry and disappointed and I understand all that. There is no one who feels that more than me right now.
‘But what I can promise is that I will do everything I can to bounce back quickly and help this club realize its ambitions this season.
‘Thank you to everyone for the support. It really doesn’t go unnoticed and I really appreciate it.’
