Luke Shaw suffered a potential career ending football injury against PSV earlier this week, but hope is still there. It is not impossible to come back stronger!

Manchester United played against PSV in a clash where online sportsbooks in the EU regarded them as favourites. However, the encounter’s saddest part for the Red Devils is not that they lost the match despite the fact that they were the superior side. Louis Van Gaal has lost Luke Shaw due to a horrible and unfortunate tackle in the 24th minute of the game.

• Ronaldo made incredible comebacks from serious injuries
• Luke Shaw also has the chance to make a great comeback

The left-back’s leg got broken. He will have to miss at least 6 months of football. It is a possible career ending football injury, we can only hope that the 20-year-old will be able to come back and reach his full potential. Until then, let’s all send a little bit of motivation to Shaw by presenting some of those who managed to came back after their horrifying football injuries.

Djibril Cissé suffered career ending football injury twice, yet he came back both times

Cissé joined Liverpool in the season 2004-05 but he didn’t get to enjoy English football too much. In October 2004, during a Premier League match against Blackburn Rovers, his left leg got broken due to a horrible tackle by Jay McEveley. He returned in April, 2005 and had quite a season as he won the Champions League with his team.

Cissé came back from not one, but two terrible injuries

One year later, in June 2006, he was invited to an international friendly game against China. The Chinese captain, Zheng Zhi, tried to tackle him, but it went completely wrong. He ended up breaking Cissé’s right leg, causing an open fracture. online gambling sites in the EU believed that this time Cissé really did suffer a career ending football injury. However, the Frenchman returned, and has played for Marseille, Lazio and other clubs as well.

Ronaldo came back to top of the world from several career ending football injuries

Ronaldo was no ordinary player. The Phenomenon, he was called. However, his knee was not as perfect as his footballing abilities, unfortunately. In April 2000, Ronaldo just returned after being on the side line for around 5 months. He played only 7 minutes when he suffered another career ending football injury. The Phenomenon returned to the football pitch just before the 2002 World Cup. The rest is known by all: golden medal, top scorer, legend.

Luke Shaw could also make a similar comeback

Currently Luke Shaw becoming one of the best left-backs in the future is highly unlikely due to his possible career ending football injury. However, he might be able to make a great comeback and help his team reach glorious victories. Internet betting sites believe that Manchester United might be able to claim the Premier League title this season as they are number 3 favourites for the trophy with their 11.00 (10/1) odds. City-rival Manchester City are the main candidates for the domestic championship as their odds for the golden medal in the Premier League are 1.40 (2/5) at Bet365.
