After suffering a horrific leg break last year, Luke Shaw is relieved he took the decision not to try and make England's Euro 2016 squad.
Luke Shaw believes his decision not to try to force his way into England's Euro 2016 squad was the right one.
The left-back suffered a nasty leg break while playing for Manchester United against PSV in the Champions League in September last year.
Shaw missed the remainder of the domestic season, but did harbour hopes of recovering in time to feature in Roy Hodgson's plans for the finals in France.
It was not to be, but Shaw's impressive start to the new campaign saw him called up to Sam Allardyce's first squad for the opening World Cup qualifier against Slovakia on Sunday, and the 21-year-old believes he is benefiting from an off-season spent on recovery.
