Erik ten Hag spoke about Luke Shaw’s recovery, expressing cautious optimism regarding his return.
He noted that while it’s possible Shaw could be back on the pitch before the October international break, he emphasized the uncertainty surrounding the timeline.
“It’s likely, but I can’t say with complete confidence that he will be ready,” ten Hag remarked.
He outlined the team’s approach, stating, “The plan is definitely to have him back before the break, but there’s a chance it could take a little longer than we hope.”
This statement reflects the careful management of Shaw’s injury, indicating that while they aim for a swift return, the focus remains on ensuring he is fully fit before resuming play.
Ten Hag’s comments highlight both the optimism of the coaching staff and the importance of a measured approach to player health and fitness.
