Muscle injury sidelines Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw

<p>

Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw will be out for a number of weeks with a muscle injury. </p>

<p>

The 28-year-old defender is a mainstay of Erik ten Hag's side and started the first two Premier League matches of the season. </p>

<p>

But Shaw will miss Saturday's Old Trafford encounter against Nottingham Forest and next weekend's trip to Arsenal as well, it seems, as England's upcoming internationals. </p>

<p>

The left-back is facing a number of weeks out with a muscle injury that is still being assessed. </p>

<p>

A club statement read: "Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has sustained an injury which will rule him out of forthcoming games. </p>

<p>

"The muscle issue is still being assessed but the England left-back is expected to be out of action for a number of weeks." </p>

<p>

United and England will be hoping nothing worse crops up during those assessments, especially with fellow left-back Tyrell Malacia also sidelined through injury. </p>

<p>

The Old Trafford club loaned out another left-back earlier on Thursday, with Brandon Williams joining Ipswich for the remainder of the campaign. </p>

<p>

United had already announced an injury to Mason Mount ahead of the Forest match and it remains unclear whether new boy Rasmus Hojlund will be fit to make his debut. </p>

<p>

Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo and Tom Heaton are also out, while Harry Maguire missed the trip to Spurs with a knock. </p>

<p>

The Red Devils are 12th in the Premier League table after a win and a loss from their opening two matches. </p>
