The Red Devils left-back Luke Shaw has revealed he believes that he will have the chance to make his return in England’s Euro 2024 1/8 final game against Slovakia at the end of the weekend.
Head coach Gareth Southgate revealed to taking a risk by picking Shaw, who hasn’t been on the pitch since February because of a calf problem, but claimed in the past that he thinks that the Manchester United defender could play in the group stage.

The Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag, however, insisted Luke’s comeback would not be possible until the elimination phase, and the Man United boss prediction was the right one.
Shaw insisted after Three Lions goalless draw against Slovenia that he would be ready for England’s next match.
The defender has followed an individual training programme for the majority of the summer. The question remains if he will be in the starting 11 vs. Slovenia or come from the bench.
