New Delhi [India] England have received a big boost ahead of their Euro 2024 clash against Slovenia as left back Luke Shaw will train with the team.
The 28-year-old left-back has been on the sidelines with his injury since February. A section of fans questioned coach Gareth Southgate's decision to include the left-back in the 26-player squad.
Shaw missed England's first two matches in Group C against Serbia and Denmark. In Shaw's absence, experienced right-back Kieran Trippier turned left to cover for the Three Lions. But ahead of Tuesday night's clash, England confirmed Shaw would train with the rest of the squad.
"All 26 #ThreeLions players will take part in training today," England confirmed on X.

In February, Shaw was ruled out of the entire Premier League season due to a leg injury. The Manchester United left-back was substituted off the field in the first half of the match against Aston Villa.
Shaw missed playing time for most of last Premier League season. Initially, he missed the first three months of the season due to injury.
Shaw's return will allow Southgate to pick his best XI for their final group game against Slovenia. After two matches, England leads Group C with four points. They won their first match 1-0 against Serbia, with Jude Bellingham putting the ball in the back of the net in the 13th minute of the match.
In their second match of the group stage, Denmark managed to draw 1-1 with the Three Lions. Harry Kane put England ahead in the 18th minute of the match. After taking the lead, England sat in their defensive zone and were eventually punished for it. Morten Hjulmand tied the match with a shot from 30 meters.
Despite having a mix of young and experienced talent in his squad, Southgate's side have struggled to generate an offensive spark on the pitch. The Three Lions would be eager to find momentum and a couple of goals before reaching the round of 16.
