Luke Shaw’s involvement at Euro 2024 is in doubt after the left-back missed England training on Saturday morning.

Apart from Shaw, the remaining 25 England players all trained ahead of their final Group C game against Slovenia on Tuesday.

Shaw has not played any football since February due to a hamstring injury and the 28-year-old Manchester United defender continues to follow an individualised training programme in an attempt to be fit.

  1. I remember Pep Guardiola using Bernardo Silva as a left back when playing Arsenal, protecting that flank from Saka! Desperate times call for desperate measures and out of the box thinking!

  2. Southgate … apparently has fixed the left hand side problem England has. After talking to senior staff. They will be doing the Hokey Pokey in training. Working on putting the left foot in and the left foot out… then shaking it all about. This will free up the right for counter attacks.

  3. The squad selection always looked odd. Southgate remained loyal to Maguire even when he was in terrible club form, yet he axed Grealish, Radford and James, all of whom could have given the team options with experience. Kalvin Phillips is hardly a world class player so to lament he has no one to replace him and blame the woeful midfield on his absence is at best rather odd. Phillips has been out of the picture since he left Leeds, so why has Southgate still not found a solution if that is the problem? And why if there was always a question over whether Terrence Trent Alexander could take on that midfield role, was he going into a tournament with that position still in doubt? You don’t start experiments in tournaments. The truth is the team are seriously unbalanced down the left side, they have too many players plying out of their natural position and tactically the players look hopelessly ill prepared. They are not playing purposefully but waiting for either Foden, Saka or Bellingham to produce something magical. England’s midfield has always lacked creativity and Southgate has favoured caution and pedestrianism. His failings as a coach have been sorely exposed at this tournament. England should be competitive, instead they were second best to an average Denmark and fortunate to beat Serbia.

  4. I don't blame Southgate for taking Shaw but he should have taken Chilwell or Mitchell who were both fitter and more likely to available to play and less of a gamble on their fitness. The problem is even if either of those players were in the squad and fully fit, Southgate would still pick Tripper at left back ahead of them which destabilises the left wing attack and part of midfield.

  5. Lets be real…
    1.Not taking a fit LB to the tournament is idiotic. Take any LB, theres pleanty in the EPL and Championship.
    2. Putting a RB in CM, omg how can you be so naive!!!!
    3. Too scared to play Phoden or Bellingham in no. 10 shirt. Just give them a half each????
    4. Gordon has been amazing down the Left Wing all season, the best LM we have, but he's not even able to get on as a Sub!!!
    5. Letting Harry Kane play deep in Midfield when he's the only striker on the pitch. Stupidity.
    6. He will keep doing this until we are out.
    Too scared, and too naive to do anything.
    FFS how is this even allowed to happen.

  6. Wharton can play left back and is left footed, as can Saka as a left wing back, but Tripper has been Shaw's back up the whole time Southgate has been manager for 8 years. Personally I would have brought Levi Colwill who played left back for Chelsea more than he did centre back last season. Chilwel was fitter than Shaw, but even when he is fit he's far too injury prone to rely on for a tournament unfortunately and I love Chilly. He would finish it injured.

  7. Could have taken Tyreek Mitchell you know a fit left back but no we choose to shoehorn a right back in at left back and an injured left back. What was Southgate even thinking?

  8. Didn’t learn the lesson of his predecessor not to take an injured player to a tournament. He didn’t take Maguire because he wouldn’t have been ready for the group stages, but gambles on Shaw? Chilwell is also another who had an awful injury plagued season at Chelsea and in the friendlies v Belgium and Brazil was pretty bad. Mitchell has no international experience and wasn’t picked for any of qualifiers or friendlies so would have struggled to bridge the gap in such a short time, given so many other inexperienced members of the squad who have yet to be picked to play. Colwill isn’t a left back who would advance past the halfway line so, not an overlapping full back, plus he was injured end of the season and had little match fitness.

    Neither Trippier or Gomez are a reborn Maldini or Zamrotta who were ambidextrous and can get forward and overlap.

  9. I didn't know England did tactical preparation. You wouldn't notice by the way they play. Maybe, they were practicing parking the bus!

  10. Another indication of the profound incompetence of Southgate. Ridiculous that there’s zero fit left backs in the squad. Pathetic decision from the useless coach.
