According to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/06/21/gareth-southgates-euro-2024-plan-luke-shaw-injury/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a>, the England boss had originally planned to use Shaw off the bench on Tuesday evening to help him reach full fitness - although this now appears unlikely.Shaw trained alone on Friday afternoon and is now a major doubt for the game against Slovenia.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-man-utd-star-luke-shaw-still-missing-at-euro-2024/blt40df1bdbddd994ac" target="_blank">Shaw's </a><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-man-utd-star-luke-shaw-still-missing-at-euro-2024/blt40df1bdbddd994ac" target="_blank">selection was a risk from Southgate</a>, with the Manchester United defender last featuring in February due to several different injuries.Newcastle United's Kieran Trippier has started the games against Serbia and Denmark for England in the opening fixtures of the tournament - and will likely feature there again.Shaw was part of the match-day squad for the first game but was not involved at all during the 1-1 draw with Denmark.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

A source close to Shaw has since commented on the situation, where they said: “Luke’s not played for more than four months. Even if he plays, he’s not going to be anywhere near fit enough and there’s a real chance he will pick something else up.”

WHAT WAS SAID

As previously noted, Southgate will now have to lean on the talents of other players in his squad at left-back. While no other player naturally plays there, Trippier, Ezri Konsa and Joe Gomez have all operated in the role previously.

WHAT NEXT FOR SOUTHGATE?
