Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has confirmed he has sustained a fresh injury via a message posted on social media.
Shaw just recently returned to action following a lengthy period on the sidelines.
He came on as a substitute during Ruben Amorim’s first match as United boss, which was a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town. It was his first taste of club action since February.
Shaw also made appearances from the bench in United’s last two games against Bodo/Glimt and Everton.
However, a report covered by The Peoples Person a few hours ago relayed that the England international picked up a fresh injury setback and as a result, he will not be available for selection during United’s meeting with Arsenal on Wednesday.
ESPN journalist Rob Dawson has revealed that Shaw is expected to be out for a “few weeks.”
Dawson adds that the issue is a muscle injury and isn’t a re-occurrence of an old problem.

Shaw wrote on Instagram, “Hi guys, it’s hurting a lot having to write this as I really thought I had got through my recent struggles and was on a positive path going forward, but unfortunately I’ve had a small setback.”
“I’ve been through a lot and had a lot of ups and downs but this has definitely been my toughest period. I’m absolutely devastated and it’s extremely tough to come to terms with reality at this moment in time.”
“I understand there is gunna be people frustrated, angry, disappointed and I understand all that. There is no one feeling that more than me at this moment in time.”
“But what I can promise is I will do everything I can to come back better soon to help this club achieve its ambitions this season.”
“Thank you to everyone for the support. It really doesn’t go unnoticed and I really do appreciate it.”
Arsenal vs. United kicks off at 20:15 BST.
