Luke Shaw Limps Off Against Crystal Palace — World Cup Spot Now in Doubt
Shaw's injury-free streak has come to an abrupt end — and England fans will be holding their breath.
Another injury setback for Shaw, and this time the stakes couldn't be higher.
Luke Shaw was forced off in the first half of Manchester United's clash with Crystal Palace after Daniel Munoz accidentally stood on his left foot, casting fresh doubt over his participation at the 2026 World Cup.
The 30-year-old had enjoyed a rare injury-free run this season, starting every Premier League game for United. That consistency had put him firmly back in England's plans for the summer. Now, with the World Cup just months away, the timing of this latest setback is deeply concerning — for both club and country.
