Luke Shaw is “devastated” to miss the game against Arsenal due to his recent injury

Luke Shaw is likely to miss the rest of 2024 after being “devastated” and suffering another injury.

The English left-back, who has not played a game for Manchester United since February, will be out for a few weeks due to new muscle problems.

It is Shaw’s third absence since his last appearance for United, having missed the final three months of last season with a hamstring injury and then the first three months of the current campaign with a calf injury. He then made three substitute appearances under new head coach Ruben Amorim before collapsing again.

And Shaw wrote on Instagram: “It’s very painful to have to write this as I really thought I had overcome my last few struggles and was on a positive path for the future, but unfortunately I have suffered a small setback.”

“I’ve been through a lot of ups and downs, but this was definitely my toughest time. I am absolutely devastated and it is extremely difficult to come to terms with the reality at this moment.”

The 29-year-old believes his many injury problems are testing the patience of United fans but said he was frustrated as he promised to return in better form.

He added: “I understand that people will be frustrated, angry and disappointed, and I understand that. “Nobody feels that more than me in this moment.

“But what I can promise is that I will do everything I can to come back better soon and help this club achieve its ambitions this season.”

Shaw has only played 98 minutes of football for United in the last nine months, but was in England’s squad for Euro 2024, appearing as a substitute twice and starting in the final against Spain.

He would have started for United at Arsenal on Wednesday when Lisandro Martinez is suspended, but will now miss the trip to Emirates Stadium and the Manchester derby, among other events.
