The pair were pictured training on Wednesday morning, alongside fellow defensive wide men Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Ashley Young and Brandon Williams.
Club legend Denis Irwin feels that is a huge positive as the Reds prepares to tackle 11 fixtures across all competitions between now and the end of 2019, beginning with Sunday’s trip to Sheffield United.
While that visit to Bramall Lane may come too soon for the duo, after their recent injury lay-offs, upcoming cup ties against Astana and Colchester United could provide more realistic opportunities to play.
Irwin believes the return of 2018/19 Player of the Year, Shaw, is a particular boost, after he started this season's opening three fixtures.
