Manchester United will be without left back Luke Shaw for the opening matches of the new Premier League season due to a calf injury, the Old Trafford side said on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old England international picked up the injury at the start of pre-season training.

 

"He is working hard on his rehabilitation with a view to being available after the first international break," United said in a statement.

French centre back and new signing Leny Yoro, 18, will return to action in about three months following successful surgery on his foot injury, United had announced earlier in August.
