Football News Update: Luke Shaw Returns to England Training Ahead of Euro 2024 Clash
In a boost for England’s Euro 2024 campaign, Manchester United star Luke Shaw has been pictured participating in the national team’s training session for the first time. The 28-year-old left-back has been recovering from a hamstring injury that sidelined him during the latter stages of the 2023/24 season.
Southgate Aims for Top Spot in Group C
Gareth Southgate’s side has put in underwhelming performances in their first two group matches, despite earning a respectable four points. The Three Lions can secure top spot in Group C with a victory over Slovenia on Tuesday in Cologne.
“The report from MailSport, via German sources, indicates that all 26 members of the England squad trained together on Monday as they ramp up preparations for the crucial clash.”
This marked the first time Shaw has trained alongside his international teammates during the tournament. The Manchester United defender, who has 31 caps for England, is the only recognized left-back in Southgate’s squad, hinting that his inclusion was a matter of when, not if, during the European Championship. Though it is unlikely that Shaw will start against Slovenia, a possible cameo appearance off the bench could be on the cards as he works towards full fitness ahead of the knockout stages.
England Seek to Turn Fortunes Around
England’s performances in the opening two games of Euro 2024 have been less than impressive, leading to questions about the team’s form and potential. However, the return of Shaw to training provides a much-needed boost as the Three Lions look to secure top spot in their group and build momentum for the latter stages of the tournament.
Fans and pundits alike will be eager to see if Shaw can make an impact and help England turn their fortunes around in the crucial match against Slovenia on Tuesday.
