Man Utd fullback Shaw set to end England exile

Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw is set for an England recall next week.

Shaw hasn't been included in a Three Lions squad since September 2018.

And despite emerging as a regular at Old Trafford during that time, he has struggled to persuade Gareth Southgate that he should be England's first choice.

But Southgate was much criticised for using Kieran Trippier at left wing-back last month, although he also handed Arsenal teenager Bukayo Saka his bow in the same position.

Now Shaw, reports the Daily Star, will join Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell - back fit and Southgate's first choice - in the squad for the international friendly with the Republic of Ireland and UEFA Nations League clashes with Belgium and Iceland, when it's announced on Thursday.

Shaw has won just eight caps since making his England debut in 2014.
