Luke Shaw Spotted Limping After Tottenham Draw

The apparent post-match limp is unconfirmed by club medics and raises selection risk for Manchester United ahead of their Champions League tie with Atletico Madrid.

Overview

  • Video and images circulated on social media showing Luke Shaw walking gingerly away from Old Trafford after the 1-1 draw with Tottenham, raising fresh fitness concern.
  • Shaw played almost the entire match and was substituted in the 95th minute for Ayden Heaven, so there was no obvious stoppage-time sign of a serious issue on the pitch.
  • He was involved in a late touchline clash with Rodrigo Bentancur that led to Bentancur’s straight red card while Shaw received a booking for his part in the incident.
  • Manchester United and the club medical team have not officially confirmed an injury, so the limp should be treated as a developing and unverified fitness worry.
  • If Shaw is unavailable, United face limited senior left-back options with Harry Amass the main specialist cover and this shortfall could affect team selection for the Madrid and Leeds fixtures.
