We got a ways to go before he's back in training unfortunately.
Injury Crisis 2023/24 | Martínez and Casemiro back in training
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
Apparently he's training individually at Carrington this morning.
That seems quick. 'Not before Xmas' was the company line when he came out of surgery.
Just don't want to rush him back again.
He even rolled up one of the legs to prove it!
Now if he would just stop holding his breath for the cameras...
I don't mean to be rude about our other LBs but having Shaw return to replace them is like having a really, really good LB return to replace others that are really fecking shit.
This may be leanest i've ever seen him. Happy he's back to save us from the scourge that is Diogo Dalot.
There's no way that's a recent photo. Look at what he's wearing and the state of the fecking weather! That photo was obviously taken during preseason.
Looks like tropical trees behind him
I wouldn't take a photo with him
What's the opposite of a wide-angle lens?
You're right, it is an old photo. But the club have released a short gif of him warming up today so the news must be legit.

Just seen the white text but he does look to have put some muscle on, not sure if that's a good thing.
Well if he did it's probably gone now, that photo is about 6 months old by the look of it
My mistake, I was actually referring to this video
I've been critical of some aspects of Shaw's performances over the years (not last season where he was by and large immense) but we do miss him when he's on form and he'll be a massive help. I do wonder if he'll play centre back more often though. IIRC he even said he enjoys playing there.
I see you ....Cliff
Shaw does look bigger doesn't he. Not in a bad way but more muscular.
Shaw's a good player but it shows how shite our squad is that the fanbase is reacting like prime Rio is coming back from injury.
With Evans out will he slot in at centre back so we have a left footer there?
I am keeping my hopes pretty low. It was not like he was tearing it apart before he was injured and besides, it is Shaw. I ll keep my fingers crossed on him continuing to be fit.
Bear in mind that’s some very flattering lighting with all the shadows and also with a pump. I look like that the morning after a night on the town, in bright light, and I’ve barely worked out in a year. He’d be the smallest guy in most commercial gyms. There’s nothing impressive there. Not for a footballer.
On form he’s the best LB in the league. He adds so much going forward and a lot solidity when tucking in. One of our few very press resistant players. If he comes back in good form then he does a lot to transform our progression from the back. If being the operative word there.
No it isn't, Rashford's form is down to Rashford and no one else
Great that Lisandro was back in training today too! to watch…
He looks quality
Shaw is back just in time for Christmas. Thank God! I'm not worried about the number of games; I'm more concerned with him being injured during a period of notorious gorging. Can you imagine a non-training, injured Shaw post-Christmas? It'd be like Ghostbusters and seeing the Marshmellow Man round the corner.
Shaw is a rich footballer, a Michelin man at the very least
Shaw and Martinez coming back will be such a lift to the team. We severely underrate how good a player Shaw is at times.
OK we go with Tom Heaton. The Turk maybe they be OK.. Onana has been Awsome hasn't he ..so we can stay with him .. last season DDG declined so far he had golden glove ?? .. if that's not a legitimate argument I don't know what is.. DDG wasn't as good a keeper than Onana because he only used 1 hand to save ..??
Maybe .. Ronny came back and that was a disaster in the End .. DDG for a season that's it.. even think Onana would improve with him there.. but what do I know. Just stick with Onana.. I'd rather see Heaton in there can't be any worse than the ones who's there.. but he did save a pen. World beater now
Back in training let's hope it goes well for both and they become available in few weeks..
How bad is Onana's pubis injury then? Has he broken it?
