Shaw tweeted someone this week saying he was ok to play this Saturday. This is probably just a carry over from missing the Swansea game and not playing in the U21's.

He played the full game against Scotland didn't he? And I assume he wouldn't have trained yesterday so can't see how he has become injured.

Physio room states this was picked up on 6 October, so the Swansea game. Unless I'm reading the wrong site?

Whatever it is can't see him playing this Saturday. Shame as this is the best chance will we have of beating Man U away. Hopefully he will only be missing for one game.

Boruc posted a pic of his leg on Instagram in some sort of support. The pic was titled 'Not ready yet'. Great

This is why we are nowhere near Europe. We have a great starting 11 but most of the back up isn't good enough. Once injuries and suspensions kick in this will really show.

Apparently someone close to the Poland squad said on 5live that Boruc was fully expecting to play tonight. Hopefully just a precaution he didn't play. Really hope so

Shaw replyed to someone on twitter earlier if he was to ok to play Saturday and he said yes

For one or two games. Hope it's not any longer

Lets hope fox isn't playing as well.

And some near post goals

So a hamstring injury. Brilliant. Hate international breaks

Really not bothered about watching it now, unless Lambert comes on. Really hope Boruc isn't badly injured

I also thought he was in the training pictures on the Friday before the Swansea game so surely he will be fit enough by now.

Unfortunately can see a narrow defeat here, same result as last season. I can't see Man U losing two games in a row at OT. The next 3 games after this one are the ones we really need to pick up points in. Anything at Man U will be a bonus.

Well we should have beaten Sunderland and West Ham, so really we should be top Seriously though still a great start, obviously helped by the fixture list. However we do have more very winnable games coming up after Man U - Fulham, Stoke, Hull. Good results in those 3 and we will really start to cement our place in the top half.

Fox is dreadful and was dreadful again today, but the jeering of him when a pass reached it's target was pathetic. It isn't a lack of confidence, he just isn't a PL player at all. So many times others have to help him out, which then leaves other areas exposed. That said really pleased with the 3 points and the clean sheet, which I couldn't see us getting at half time. Boruc was brilliant and gives us a lot of confidence at the back. Boruc and Lallana were MOMs for me today.

I'm not being silly at all. Fox is not even half the player Shaw is.

It also said he had recovered. Shaw would still be better than Fox, despite not training for the whole week.

Anyone see the picture on twitter earlier entitled 'MP addressing the defensive players ahead of Sunday's game' ? No Shaw there. Please don't say he's injured?!

This unfortunately. But you can be sure we will get the best deal possible for him. I also hope we don't mess around for ages trying to get a new left back in, unless Targett can make the step up.

Unless Shaw wants to go I don't think we will sell him. Still going to be an uncomfortable January though.
