Luke Shaw could miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to remove screws from his leg following his leg break against PSV Eindhoven in 2015.

The 26-year-old missed last weekend’s 1-0 defeat to Everton due to the issue, with Ralf Rangnick confirming the left-back would be out for three weeks. Now, there are more worrying reports for the Englishman.

According to The Telegraph, Shaw is now facing a battle to play again this season after it emerged that the operation to remove the metal screws could take longer to heal.
