Young Luke coming back in March makes me nervous. I know he's desperate to play but I'd rather see him brought back slowly starting in July. Screw the Euros, no way could he be top form by then.
I read somewhere that allowing too much time for recovery from injuries isn't a good thing either.

Too much of anything is always a bad thing. If Luke is actually cleared to train in March then I'm all for having him train in March. It's hard to see how he could become match fit in just a few weeks of training, just as the season is coming to an end.

Euros kick off in June right? Thats 3 months for him to get fit, it should be easily doable.

So excited to see him when he's back playing again, ahead of schedule too, brilliant young player.

looking at the picture, facial features says he looks fit and not put on lots of weight like some might do when they're on a 6 month injury lay off. still don't want him back playing too soon and would rather him have a summer of recovery rather than rush into our Euro squad

He was quite possibly on his way to being our best player this season, we got robbed of not getting to see a combo of him and Martial on the left wing so far this season.

Great news. He's one of the finest young footballers on the planet IMO, and seems to have a really good attitude as well to boot.

That's actually as frightening a left wing combination as any in the premier league.

I think I will always find it bizarre the obsession some have for celebrities.
Oh god yeah. Massively off topic but it's bizarre. All for supporting people and stuff, we're all guilty of that here, but some people literally take things beyond all rational reasoning.

I hope he takes his time and builds himself up.again

The shape he was in at the start of the season was superb

Just don't want us rushing him and him ending up playing a lot of football and the Euros on top

As is Rojo, Valencia and Young. Wouldn't read too much into it. We are so short of senior players we can name all our long term injuries on the odd chance they might play
Rojo, Valencia and Young could all return in the next 4-6 weeks.

Those 3 haven't had their legs broken.

CBJ, Adnan and Pereira are List B players, meaning they were born after 1.1.94 and have been registered with the club for at least 2 years since 15, so they don't take up a space on the 25 man squad but can still be named as a player or sub in the match-day team sheet.

Martial, for example, meets the age restriction but hasn't been with us long enough so still takes up a squad slot...

Any word on when he's back? Wasn't there reports a few months back that it would be March?

The England coach is quoted as saying: "I spoke to Luke last Sunday and he said that things are going well and that’s good news. But we are in the hands of the club to some extent.

“If they decide they don’t want to risk him in the final games of the season, there’s not much I can do.

“I would understand and respect that, although I’d be a bit disappointed in that I think the player deserves the opportunity of being selected.”

As far as I'm concerned, he should be missing the tournament on principle. Even if he's technically fit enough by then, he shouldn't go. He's very young, and has plenty of prospective international tournaments ahead of him. One bad tackle or collision causing a break or fracture to a leg that, yes, maybe could have done with a summer's reinforcement just to make absolutely sure, and the kid's career is over.

Hodgson's opinion counts for nothing. There's a good chance he won't be England manager after this tournament, and he knows it, so he's got no reason to worry about protecting these players' futures. He just wants a successful tournament at any cost.

Yeah, he should just feck off. I hope Shaw himself sees it as better not to take any risks, but i doubt it, he probably wants it badly if he thinks he is fit enough.

He was a 27m pounds investment, i hope the club tell Hodgson where to go.

Luke is young and will be playing for England for a long time. Feck off Hodgson you owl bastard, let him take as long as he needs.

Shaw's surely smart enough to give it a miss no matter how much he wants to go. Wait this tournament out and he'll definitely be Englands no.1 for the remaining tournaments in his career.

Do one hodgson. We need a fully fit Shaw next season so i'd be happy for him to skip the euros and concentrate on full recovery. Its scary how well he started the season, probably in the top 2 or 3 players on the pitch every game, one of very few players I think everyone on here agrees is class along with martial and dave.

To be fair I am sure if you asked Shaw he would be keen to play at a Euro Championship. Roy has just said he'd like to have a chance considering his form at the start of this season. He is far and away England's best left back so I think some a being a bit dramatic about his comments!
