I was at the game and Shaw didn't look that bad. I'm sure he'll play, Welbeck looked more of a doubt if I'm honest. Shaw along with Smalling were excellent on the night.

Gulp
Arsenal 1:2 Man Utd
You've just got to laugh now.
Shaw hurt. No shock at all
Standard
Our most experienced defender on the pitch who also happens to be 19 years old gets injured and no one is surprised.
Our most experienced defender on pitch is Smalling BTW. These injuries have gone beyond ridiculous now though.
Listen, injuries are part and parcel of the game. Remember, Chelsea had Costa injured for a couple of games and now Nathan Ake is also out for them.
It was so obvious from the moment he first touched the ball that he wasn't right. Just like Herrera a few weeks ago.
Just when you think we've set the bar as high as humanly possible for complete and utter feckwittery, we go and outdo ourselves. Genius.

GIVE US A feckING BREAK
Didn't we check his glass to bone ratio when we signed him?
Something is seriously wrong with our medical staff. We buy players with decent injury records and make them injury prone.
What'cha talkin' 'bout? He went over on his ankle, nothing to do with what made him a doubt for the game.
That ankle will surely swell and I don't know how long it'll take for the swelling to disappear and the pain too.
How in anyway shape or form was this one their fault?Tweet

*sigh*Hopefully it's something and nothing, but going over on your ankle like that can go either way.
Apparently pictured leaving The Emirates in a moonboot.
Not good.
Not good.
Really hope it's not serious. He's been great for us.
It is clearly not only bad luck that we get so many injuries. I think that in our desperation to field players we play them before they are 100% and then you are more likely to suffer setbacks on old injuries and new injuries. Combination of bad luck, injury prone players and high risk taking.
Yeah but this injury had nothing to do with that, it was a nasty challenge by Chamberlain, he'd also get injured if he was fit for 2 consecutive years.

He turned his ankle quite badly, nothing to do with being fragile like some of our other crocks, his injury fits into the same unlucky category as Blind's. We are utterly fecked at LB with all 3 options out.
He just landed akwardly, nothing to do with rushing him.
Isn't it just typical that we buy 3 players capable of playing at LB and they all get injured?
Really can't be doing with Blackett there again, would much prefer Young to be honest.

Hopefully just a sore/twisted ankle and no damage to the ligaments or anything like that.
We are going to play 3 at the back again when we have no leftbacks at the club anymore
Ah fair enough. I thought he went off clutching his hammy. He definitely didn't look at the races today mind.
Our injured players keep picking up new injuries. When will this madness end? Hope he get's back quickly because he's looked essential to our team.
I just don't understand why he played on. Same goes for Wilshere. It's pointless.
LOL.
He is a defender.
He plays for Man Utd.
It follows that this glass:bone ratio will be high.
Jesus Christ. Looks like we will be seeing Young at left back next week then.
The moon boot is a standard precaution when needing to ice an area. Fingers crossed it's not too bad.
My post was making a point about our general problems with injuries. Not specifically this one. But the way a player coordinates his body and general fitness obviously have effects on the probability of suffering injuries. If you are not completely up to the tempo of the game you are also more likely to have challenges coming at you. Again talking generally and not trying to analyse this particular injury.
Confusingly I think we looked more solid with Young there instead of Luke.
He obviously wasn't right from the start of the game.
We probably have to sign a fullback during January. We need cover for both positions as well anyway.
Really really frustrating. While Young was solid today I don't think he can be as good with a back four unlike Shaw who is a natural. Hopefully the moonboot was precaution and it isn't too bad. Knowing our luck though I am expecting the worst possible scenario.
Any update on the injury?
Id be very surprised if we saw him again this side of xmas
meh! another injury....Bring It On!
we can play with the academy back four and teams would still need 20+ chances to best De Gea
