Shaw and Rafael

Louis van Gaal has been handed a rare injury boost as Luke Shaw is believed to have suffered only a minor knock in Manchester United’s 2-0 FA Cup win over Yeovil Town and should be available for Sunday’s visit of Southampton.

Shaw became the 55th injury to afflict Van Gaal’s squad, with Rafael da Silva also suffering a fractured cheekbone during the third round tie, as both players were withdrawn at half-time.

Shaw had previously been out for over a month because of an ankle problem, returning on 28 December as a second-half substitute in the 0-0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur. But despite fears he had seriously aggravated the same ankle the 19-year-old should be fit to face his former club.

The Brazilian took to Instagram to inform followers of his successful operation and how he would return to training with a mask.

Rafael said: 'Operation was perfect back training normal with mask on Friday very happy. Thanks god for everything.'

Despite having a lot of time for Rafael, i think its time to look for a first choice or at least equal RB to sign, this injury is a bit of a freak occurrence so we can ignore that, just can't have a first choice player with such a stupid amount time wasted with injury. Don't really want Smalling or Jones as deputies there wither tbh.
