Manchester United defender Luke Shaw expressed his deep disappointment following a setback in his recovery from a long-term injury. The England international is facing another stint on the sidelines due to an undisclosed injury, just as he was beginning to return to form after missing the first three months of the season with a calf issue sustained shortly before the season opener.
In a heartfelt Instagram post to his five million followers on Tuesday, Shaw wrote, “It’s hurting a lot having to write this as I really thought I had got through my recent struggles and was on a positive path going forward, but unfortunately I’ve had a small setback.”
Reflecting on his challenges, Shaw added, “I’ve been through a lot of ups and downs, but this has definitely been my toughest period. I’m absolutely devastated, and it’s extremely tough to come to terms with reality at this moment in time.”
Shaw’s injury woes have persisted, as he missed significant portions of the previous season yet managed to be included in England’s squad for the European Championship. He made two substitute appearances before starting in the final against Spain.
“I understand there are going to be people frustrated, angry, disappointed, and I understand all of that,” Shaw acknowledged. “There is no one feeling that more than me at this moment in time. But what I can promise is I will do everything I can to come back better soon to help this club achieve its ambitions this season.”
