ANOTHER DERBY HEADACHE FOR MOURINHO AS LUKE SHAW EXITS ENGLAND CAMP THROUGH INJURY

Manchester United England left  back has withdrawn from the Three Lions squad due to injury. He didn't take part in training on Saturday ahead of England's World Cup qualifier against Slovakia on Sunday, and hence, has been sent back to United.
Sam Allardyce though believes that Shaw who only returned from a serious injury this season won't be out for too long.
'It's a slight problem with the leg, a little ache, muscular. 'With what he's been through, we didn't want to take a chance. 'It's the calf where the brake was (referring to Shaw's leg brake last year). 'He's done exceptionally well given the games he's played, but he didn't feel comfortable, so the wise thing to do was send him back to United', Big Sam added, 'He wasn't starting (against Slovakia) anyway. 'I'd be surprised if he wasn't okay for United's next game'.

United's next game is the Manchester derby, slated for September 10. Man Utd's boss,  Jose Mourinho has bemoaned the timing. With his South American players like Valencia and Rojo returning barely 24hours before kickoff, and Luke Shaw now an injury doubt, the Special One will be definitely worried about his full back positions for the 'MANCHESTER CLASSICO'.
