LUKE SHAW NEWS

Records assist against Young Boys Shaw assisted Mason Greenwood's goal in Wednesday's 1-1 Champions League draw against Young Boys.

Impact Shaw made his first appearance since Nov. 20 on Wednesday after recovering from two concussions, and he grabbed his second assist of the season with a cross. He should be in the lineup again Saturday versus Norwich, which have scored just eight goals in 15 Premier League matches.

Back in starting XI Shaw (concussion) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Young Boys.

Impact Shaw returns to the XI Wednesday after suffering two concussions in back-to-back matches. Given the youngsters in the lineup, he'll probably be asked to go a full 90, assuming he's fit enough after missing the last couple weeks. It's also likely he'll be on a split of set pieces, at a minimum.

DECEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Status remains uncertain Shaw (concussion) was seen on the training pitch this week, but it's unknown if he's returned to training ahead of Wednesday's match against Young Boys.

Impact Shaw probably won't start Wednesday, but Man United have been fairly secretive about what's going on with his concussions. Considering it hasn't been revealed that Shaw is actually training again, he probably won't be in the team Wednesday, but it at least looks like he's edging closer to being available.

Still out Thursday Shaw (concussion) is not in the squad for Thursday's match against Arsenal.

Impact While Manchester United haven't revealed much information, it's clear that Shaw suffered two concussions in a short period of time. His return remains unknown and until he's ready to play again Alex Telles will continue at left-back.

DECEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Remains doubt for Thursday Shaw (concussion) remains a doubt for Thursday's match against Arsenal. When asked about team news, Michael Carrick said, "Nothing really new."

Impact It doesn't sound like Shaw will be an option Thursday unless Carrick is really being secretive about it. Shaw had back-to-back concussions in a short period and will likely get extended rest, meaning more starts for Alex Telles may be ahead.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Unclear on return Shaw is dealing with back-to-back concussions in a short period and doesn't have a timeline to return, according to caretaker manager Michael Carrick.

Impact It's never good to play so quickly after a concussion, especially two in a short period, and that could mean Shaw will miss another match or two. Alex Telles is a capable left-back, so this isn't a major worry, but Shaw's overall health is the clear issue at stake, as concussions aren't anything to mess around with.

Out against Chelsea Shaw (head) is not in Man United's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Chelsea.

Impact Shaw missed Tuesday's Champions League victory against Villarreal with a head injury he sustained a few days earlier against Watford, and he is still out on Sunday as well. His next opportunity to return will be Thursday against Arsenal.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Late test for Sunday Shaw (head) will be a late-fitness test for Sunday's trip to Chelsea, according to Michael Carrick.

Impact With Harry Maquire (suspension) unavailable, Shaw could find himself pressed into a central defensive role if he is cleared to play Sunday. If that's the case, it could limit the left-back's ability to generate crosses from a wide position, thereby preventing him from offering more than mid-range fantasy value.

Held out as precaution Shaw was held out as a precaution Tuesday after receiving a knock to his head over the weekend, according to Michael Carrick. "Luke had concussion a couple of weeks ago [during the...

Impact This is somewhat good news for Shaw, as it's yet to be confirmed that he suffered a concussion, something that should've been assessed by now. If it's not a concussion, there's a chance he could be in the XI for Sunday's trip to Chelsea, though more information should be revealed in the coming days.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Villarreal trip Shaw (concussion) did not travel to Spain for Tuesday's match against Villarreal.

Impact This isn't surprising, as it looks like Shaw may have suffered another concussion after missing time with a concussion from a couple weeks prior. It's not good to have back-to-back concussions and there's a chance Alex Telles finds more time going forward to give Shaw some rest.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in protocol Shaw (concussion) was taken off for concussion protocol in the 84th minute of Saturday's 4-1 loss to Watford.

Impact Shaw was taken off the pitch to go into concussion protocol Saturday. This was just after leaving concussion protocols in the match before the break, so there is certainly concern around Shaw. On a short week with Champions League ahead,Alex Telles is the obvious replacement if Shaw can't play.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Watford Shaw (concussion) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Watford.

Impact It was never revealed that Shaw had passed concussion protocols, but it looks like that's the case as he's starting Saturday. His numbers have been a bit lacking this season, having produced eight chances created in his last five starts in all competitions.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Status unclear for Saturday Shaw (concussion) has been training, but he doesn't have a firm status for Saturday's trip to Watford, according to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Impact If Shaw passed concussion protocols, he will be in the starting XI Saturday, but Man United have yet to reveal that's the case. Shaw wasn't mentioned in Solskjaer's press conference and then he only revealed in another interview that Shaw has apparently been training. If Shaw can't go, Alex Telles will get the start at left-back.

NOVEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in Manchester Shaw has withdrawn from international duty and will undergo further tests on his concussion this week.

Impact Shaw will have had two weeks following his concussion suffered Nov. 6, so the thought is that he'll be ready for the trip to Watford. He's yet to have been seen on the training pitch, so that'll be something to watch for in the coming days.

NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still in concussion protocol Shaw hasn't passed concussion protocol and has yet to join England over the break, reports Tyrone Marshall of Manchester Evening News.

Impact Shaw played a few minutes after receiving an initial blow to his head over the weekend and the hope is that he didn't make things worse. Concussions are usually dependent on the severity and for now, it looks like this one could keep Shaw from joining England over the break.

Exits after blow to head Shaw took a blow to his face and was forced off late in the second half of Saturday's Manchester derby.

Impact There's a chance Shaw suffered a concussion Saturday, though he continued for a couple minutes after being looked at by the physios. This isn't deemed to be serious and is expected to remain in the starting XI after the international break, though Alex Telles is waiting for when needed.

Delivers six crosses versus Atalanta Shaw took one off-target shot, sent in six crosses (two accurate), created two scoring chances and had three interceptions in Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Atalanta.

Impact Shaw provided a strong contribution on both ends, leading his team in crosses and stuffing the stat-sheet defensively as well. He has notched two assists, 24 shots, 75 crosses and 15 tackles in 13 matches. Manchester United will face Manchester City at home Saturday.

Impact Shaw was not as active as he typically is which came as a shocker for the formation that Manchester United was set up in. The wingback received every chance possible to provide needed offensive support, but he was needed defensively more. Nevertheless, Shaw has proven time and time again that he can produce on both fronts and he provides a well-balanced skillset.
