Ten Hag said of Shaw: “The process is not going as we expected. That's the truth. The setback, if you want to call it like this... We know his past; we have to do [his recovery] right. We can't have him playing for some games and then drop out again. So, we will do it very carefully.”
Tyrell Malacia - Out
Malacia remains out having missed more than a year with a knee injury. Ten Hag said in mid-October: “They are back, but we can't force their return. We have to be careful. Of course, we want to do it as soon as possible, as we need a left-back.”
Mason Mount - Doubt
Ten Hag said last week: "I think a bit longer [to wait for Mount], that's what we expected. I think he will be back soon." It’s unclear when Mount will return.
