Recently, Ten Hag disclosed in a press conference that left-back Luke Shaw’s recovery progress has been unsatisfactory, casting doubt on his participation in this summer’s European Championship.
According to Ten Hag, “Luke Shaw’s situation is quite complicated. I would say his chances of playing in the FA Cup final are less likely than for other injured players. It’s doubtful if he will return. As for the England games, it’s hard to tell. There have been issues in his recovery process, and we need to continue assessing how long he’ll be out.”
This adds to Southgate’s concerns, as another left-back, Chilwell, has also struggled with injuries this season, limiting his appearances and match fitness.
