center-back In the past two games, Victor Lindelof took his spot, despite his struggles at left-back. This season, Shaw, who missed three months in the fall, has only made 15 appearances at left back. Instead, right back Diogo Dalot and midfielder Sofyan Amrabat have also been utilized in that role.

The former Southampton player has also been Gareth Southgate’s first choice left-back for England, starting all five of the country’s World Cup games in 2022 and scoring in the 2020 European Championship final.

Shaw, who has 31 caps, will undoubtedly miss the friendlies in March against Brazil and Belgium. If he does not recover in time, Ben Chilwell may get the opportunity to prove he is worthy of a spot in Shaw’s replacement at Euro 2024.
