However, it appears that the Englishman has now recovered from that issue and is close to making a return.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/11\/15\/manchester-united-scouting-joao-neves\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Fabrizio Romano: Manchester United Scout \u2018Complete\u2019 Midfielder Ahead of January Transfer Window<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag confirmed the return of Shaw in training and gave an update on his fitness, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1727702352130441430\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">saying<\/a>: &#8220;He\u2019s [Shaw] been training for two weeks with the team and we are quite hopeful that he will return in the squad for Sunday\u2019s game.&#8221; The return of Shaw could significantly help strengthen United&#8217;s backline, which has been leaking a lot of goals throughout the 23\/24 campaign so far. The 29-year-old can also help add more creativity to their attack with his impressive crossing ability, and add more unpredictability through their left wing too.<\/p>\n<h3>When Can The Others Injured Stars Return?<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately for the Red Devils, Shaw isn&#8217;t the only one to have suffered with injuries. They have a number of players out with injuries, including <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/11\/09\/man-utd-injury-update-martinez-casemiro\/\" target=\"_self\">Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez<\/a>, who was recently seen watching his teammates in action in their training session.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/11\/17\/man-utd-glazers-takeover-update-ceo\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Key Glazers Board Member to \u2018Step Down by the End of the Year\u2019 as Manchester United Takeover Deal Progresses<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Christian Eriksen sustained an injury before the November break and is expected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manutd.com\/en\/news\/detail\/christian-eriksen-and-rasmus-hojlund-injury-update-from-man-utd-after-denmark-squad-withdrawals\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">be out of action<\/a> for a few weeks too.
