LUKE SHAW will not play in England’s Thursday match against Denmark.

The left-back for Manchester United will not play in the Three Lions’ second group match, according to Gareth Southgate, as he continues to treat an injury.

Luke won’t be playing tomorrow, no, according to Southgate, who was speaking ahead of the match between the Danes and Group C.

Actually, he’s right where we initially anticipated him to be.

“We were hoping a couple of days ago we might accelerate that a little bit, but he needs a bit more volume work.”

The Euro 2020 final goalscorer is still training alone, he continued, in order to manage his workload.

“He didn’t train with the rest of the group today because there are days when he needs to recover when the others are pushing and days when he needs to do more than the rest of the group,” the statement continues.

“So he’s still in and out with the others, but operating on his own programme as well.”

Shaw is still dealing with a muscle injury he sustained when playing for Manchester United in February.

Kieran Tripper was used on the left side in place of the defender during England’s 1-0 victory over Serbia on Sunday.

Out of all the left-backs in Southgate’s 26-man tournament squad, Shaw is the sole regular.

The England manager has not yet provided a timeline for when supporters might anticipate seeing Shaw return to action.

Erik ten Hag, the manager of Shaw’s club, forecast that it wouldn’t happen until after the group stages based on his knowledge of the ailment.

He stated on Sunday night on the Dutch TV channel NOS: “Luke Shaw will start playing once England get out of the group stages.”
