Luke Shaw is expected to have a second operation on his broken leg on Friday.
The Manchester United defender was taken to the St Anna Ziekenhuis hospital on the outskirts of Eindhoven on Tuesday night after breaking his right leg in two places during the 2-1 defeat by PSV. The England left-back broke his tibia and fibula following a challenge by the PSV defender Héctor Moreno in the 15th minute.
Two orthopaedic surgeons and a trauma specialist conducted an operation on Shaw’s leg on the night of the match. United declined to comment any further but it is understood Shaw will have a second operation at the hospital on Friday.
Shaw will remain in Eindhoven until United’s medical staff are happy for him to travel home. The United executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, visited Shaw the morning after the match and the player’s parents are understood to be with him now.
Shaw is said to have suffered a “clean break” of the right leg, which makes it more likely his recovery will be quicker. The player himself has not set a target for his comeback date but the United manager, Louis van Gaal, said after the matchhe could return by March.
