Luke Shaw will miss Manchester United’s Champions League match against Sabah FK on September 11, 2026, after failing to train in the build-up, with Patrick Dorgu named as his substitute at left-back.
Shaw had started all three Premier League games this season—against Hull, Ipswich, and Everton—though he was substituted off after 73 minutes in the Everton match due to cramp.
Manager Michael Carrick confirmed Shaw’s absence was a precautionary decision, stating: “We didn’t want to take any risks” following the cramp incident.
Shaw remains available for selection in the Manchester derby against City on September 13, with Carrick expected to provide a fitness update on September 12.
