Luke Shaw Stretchered Off vs. Spain with Head Injury After Collision

England left-back Luke Shaw left Saturday's UEFA Nations League match against Spain in the 53rd minute with an apparent head injury, being stretchered off the pitch.

The Press Association's Simon Peach described the scene as England team doctors tended to Shaw:

Shaw collided with Spain right-back Dani Carvajal, and his head appeared to hit the turf as he fell to the ground.

The Times' Henry Winter reported Shaw was "walking and talking" in the England dressing room and would receive a full scan at Wembley Stadium to determine the extent of the injury.

The 23-year-old Manchester United defender has had more than his fair share of injuries since arriving at Old Trafford in 2014, as evidenced by his making just 70 appearances in four years at the club.

Shaw suffered several small injuries in his first campaign with United before missing almost the entirety of his second because of a broken leg.

A groin injury early during the 2016-17 season proved to be a source of frustration for both Shaw and manager Jose Mourinho, who has both questioned the left-back's attitude and praised him at times in a roller-coaster relationship.

Shaw then limped out of a match with Swansea City in April 2017, with the injury keeping him out of action until that September.

This latest setback is unlikely to help in that regard, and Mourinho will likely have to rely on Matteo Darmian. Shaw has tremendous potential and can make an impact, but he needs to show his form and fitness consistently if he's to convince Mourinho or really kick on with his United career.

Ashley Young is another option at left-back.
