Man Utd fullback Luke Shaw could make Watford clash

Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw could be available for their clash with Watford.

Shaw has been recovering from a head injury in action with England.

BBC Sport reports Manchester United defender Luke Shaw could play in Saturday's Premier League game at Watford, a week after suffering concussion while playing for England.

Shaw could play after being treated in United's enhanced care setting.

The guidelines allow a player to return earlier if seven criteria are met, and United's state-of-the-art medical facilities are understood to meet the requirements.

It does not mean Shaw is certain to play at Vicarage Road as United's medical staff must be convinced of the full-back's recovery before making him available to manager Jose Mourinho.
