New Delhi: Luke Shaw is making his first appearance for club or country in 148 days when he starts at left back for England in the Euro 2024 Final. Gareth Southgate selects Manchester United’s Shaw above Kieran Trippier as his team gets ready to play Spain in Berlin. Shaw is anticipated to be selected, but Trippier had proclaimed himself healthy despite being injured in the semifinal.
Trippier has filled in for Shaw during the tournament while playing out of position because Southgate and his staff chose to choose Shaw as the team’s only starting left back despite his history of injuries. Shaw hasn’t started, despite initial expectations that he would be ready for the conclusion of the group stages. Nevertheless, he participated in the quarterfinal match against Denmark and played 45 minutes in the victory over the Netherlands. He will now start at Trippier’s expense in the Olympiastadion.

The United fullback looks set to play against a very confident Lamine Yamal who has been a sensation for the Spanish side. Luke Shaw needs to be on his toes and give his best performance as he has a massive responsibility on his shoulders. The veteran fullback needs to keep his defensive play on check as a lot depends o how he tackles the 17-year-old in this game.
Luke Shaw makes his first start in the tournament in the final against Spain. While questions were raised on his inclusion in the English squad before the campaign started, his inclusion in the starting lineup shows the faith Gareth Southgate has in the Manchester United man.
