Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Luke Shaw has recovered from a foot injury, but he is unclear when the full-back will return to the Manchester United line-up.
The England international missed large parts of last season with injuries and has been out of action since May because of a foot injury.
Shaw has been involved in Manchester United’s Under-23 matches in recent weeks and has also been training with the senior squad over the last few weeks.
Mourinho admits that the defender has made a complete recovery from his injury, but insisted that his return to the team will depend on his form and performances in training.
The Portuguese also added that Marcos Rojo’s rehabilitation from knee surgery has progressed as scheduled, but he is still not back in full training and will only make a complete recovery in the next few months.

The Manchester United manager said in a press conference: “Luke Shaw is not injured anymore so is a question of form, is a question of option but is not injured, he’s recovered.
“Marcos Rojo is still in the timings of such an important injury, everything went really well, but is not training in a normal session, just parts of it.
“So he probably has a couple of months.”
Paul Pogba is expected to be out for up to six weeks due to a hamstring injury he sustained against FC Basel on Tuesday night.
