歸隊！盧克-肖將在周三聯賽杯復出
盧克-肖的曼聯生涯並非一帆風順的，經歷了反覆的傷病後，他的機會也越來越少。從上賽季對陣斯旺西遭遇了腳踝韌帶傷勢以來，盧克-肖經歷了漫長的恢復期，而《郵報》消息稱，如今他終於可以再次重回球場。
《郵報》稱，盧克-肖準備在球隊周三對陣伯頓的聯賽杯比賽中歸隊，他有機會說服穆里尼奧，自己在球隊還有著光明的未來。
上周五的新聞發布會上，穆里尼奧談到盧克-肖時，曾說道：「盧克-肖已經沒有傷病困擾了，現在只是球隊的選擇問題，他已經從傷病中恢復過來了。」
22歲的盧克-肖今年夏天一直為自己的傷病努力做著恢復訓練，他也積極地跟隨曼聯前往了美國洛杉磯參加了熱身賽，本賽季傷愈後，肖代表預備隊出戰了3場比賽，而原本將出戰周一曼聯對陣切爾西預備隊比賽的他最終沒有在這場比賽中登場，這也被視作為是在為周三的聯賽杯亮相做準備。
目前曼聯隊內邊後衛位置上有瓦倫西亞、小布林德、達米安、阿什利-揚等選擇，而儘管困難重重，但盧克-肖也已經準備好要重新找回自己在一線隊的一席之地了。
MANCHESTER UNITED DEFENDER LUKE SHAW IS SET TO RETURN FROM ANOTHER INJURY AGAINST BURTON
Luke Shaw has been here before at Manchester United. The injury, the rehab, the comeback.
The damaged ligament in his foot that has kept Shaw out of action since April cannot compare to the horrific broken leg that took him out of the game for nearly a year, but in many ways the stakes are even higher this time.
As Shaw prepares to return to the United squad for Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie against Burton Albion at Old Trafford, he knows that the opportunities to convince Jose Mourinho that he deserves to be United's left back for the foreseeable future are not limitless.
'Luke Shaw is not injured any more so it's a question of form, of options, but he is not injured,' said Mourinho when asked about Shaw on Friday. 'He has recovered from his injury.'
It was hardly the biggest fanfare but, then again, Mourinho has grown cautious when it comes to the issue of Shaw.
He recognises the player's qualities but has questioned his attitude, both privately and publicly. Mourinho quickly formed the opinion that Shaw epitomises the modern young player who is given too much too soon.
In Shaw's case, it was a £31million move to Old Trafford from Southampton in the summer of 2014, making him the most expensive teenager in world football at the time.
The broken leg in Eindhoven in September of the following year inevitably halted his progress at United, but Mourinho has been decidedly underwhelmed by a player he once tried to sign for Chelsea.
Shaw tackled the problem head-on when he sought clear-the-air talks with his manager in April after Mourinho admitted that he was 'a long way behind' Daley Blind, Matteo Darmian and Ashley Young in the pecking order of left backs at the club.
It seemed to work. He was immediately restored to the squad and made another three starts before the foot injury sustained in a draw with Swansea kept him out of action for the remainder of the season, including United's Europa League triumph over Ajax in Stockholm.
The 22-year-old has spent the summer rehabbing the injury, and joined his team-mates on tour in America. The decision to withdraw Shaw from Monday night's reserve-team game against Chelsea after three appearances for the second string is seen as a clear indication that he will be in the squad against Burton.
Young has beaten his young team-mate on the comeback trail and impressed at left back against Everton on Sunday after returning from injury in the Champions League opener against Basle last week. Blind and Darmian still pose significant obstacles for Shaw as he bids to re-establish himself in the team.
But there have been some positive signs. Speculation over a summer move away from United proved unfounded, and there has been talk of a 12-month contract extension – although protecting their investment on a player whose current deal runs out next year would make sound business sense for United.
Shaw's relationship with Mourinho appears to have improved as well. 'We've had discussions but the main ones we've had so far are about how my injury is,' he said last month. 'I told him straight how I was feeling and that's good.
'We've got so many games this season and it was the same last season. The games will be bigger this season because we're back in the Champions League and more of a challenge. We're all up for it.
'Everyone is training hard because everyone wants to be on that pitch in the important games. We're all fighting for a place and now it's my time to fight for my place.'
Whether that battle begins at Old Trafford on Wednesday night or over the coming weeks remains to be seen. Either way, this promises to be a pivotal season for Shaw going into the World Cup next summer.
He must convince Mourinho that he is prepared to learn and progress in the way that many predicted he would after breaking through at Southampton in 2012.
The United manager is not known for his patience and Shaw has borne the brunt of his criticism more than any other player at United since Mourinho took over last year.
There is still time for Shaw to forge a future at Old Trafford; to put the problems with Mourinho and his injury issues behind him. But the time to deliver is now.
