Football News: Luke Shaw Ruled Out of England’s Final Euro 2024 Group Match
In a blow to England’s squad, national team manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed that Manchester United defender Luke Shaw will be unavailable for the Three Lions’ final Euro 2024 group stage match against Slovenia.
“Unfortunately, Luke Shaw won’t be able to feature in our last group stage game,” Southgate said. “He’s picked up a minor issue and we don’t want to risk him at this stage of the tournament.”
With Shaw’s absence, Southgate is expected to once again turn to Kieran Trippier to fill the left-back position. Trippier, who has been a reliable presence in the squad, is likely to start the Slovenia match as England look to secure their spot in the knockout phase of the European Championship.
The news of Shaw’s unavailability will be a disappointment for the England fans, who have seen the Manchester United star emerge as a key figure in Southgate’s plans. However, the manager has emphasized the importance of managing his players’ fitness and keeping the squad fresh for the later stages of the competition.
As the Three Lions prepare to face Slovenia, Southgate will be hoping his team can maintain their strong form and secure the necessary result to advance to the next round of the Euro 2024 tournament.
