However, Southgate\u2019s plan to reintegrate Shaw for England\u2019s third game of\u00a0Euro 2024\u00a0appears to be on track after he made his long-awaited return to training on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>There had been\u00a0further worry of Shaw\u2019s status\u00a0after he continued training alone in the aftermath of the Denmark draw, but he is now in contention to play once again.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/01j14xft8x6w5pq80eyd.jpg\" alt=\"Kieran Trippier\" title=\"Kieran Trippier\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Trippier has filled in for Shaw but too has been battling with a muscle injury \/ Kevin Voigt\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>In Shaw\u2019s place, Kieran Trippier has been selected at left-back for\u00a0England, though he is naturally right-footed and has not provided width when joining in attacks. Trippier is also nursing a calf strain sustained in the stalemate with Denmark, though he joined Shaw in full training on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Shaw is the only left-footed defender in Southgate\u2019s final 26-player squad. Fellow leftie Jarrad Branthwaite was cut from the provisional list, though he is primarily a centre-back anyway. Ben Chilwell, who has been capped 21 times by England, did not receive a call-up following a poor season at club level with Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>England\u2019s other options at left-back are Joe Gomez and Ezri Konsa, but they are naturally right-footed centre-backs.<\/p>\n<p>Shaw\u2019s last competitive minutes of football came for\u00a0Manchester United\u00a0in their 2-1 win at Luton Town back in February. He played the first half of their eventual victory at Kenilworth Road before suffering a recurrence of a muscle problem and had to be substituted.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luke Shaw has returned to full England training one day before they face Slovenia in their final group stage match of Euro 2024.
