Luke Shaw regrets playing through the pain barrier for Manchester United, as the England left-back hopes to feature at Euro 2024.
Shaw has been selected for Gareth Southgate s squad heading to Germany despite not having featured for club or country since February.
The 28-year-old went off injured while playing for Man United against Luton Town, a fixture that he has admitted was a mistake to play in.
If the manager asks me to play, I m never going to say no. But I shouldn t have played, Shaw said.
It s kind of everyone s fault. Partly my fault, partly the medical staff.
I came back too quickly and I actually ended up getting another injury in my hamstring. I did push to do everything I can to be fit for United.

Shaw s inclusion has raised eyebrows, especially with his United club-mate Harry Maguire, who has not played since April due to injury, missing the cut.
When asked if he is likely to play in England s opener against Serbia on June 16, Shaw said: That s not really down to me. We just go day by day, see how I m feeling in training.
I would love to make the first game, but I don t want to rush too quickly because realistically I ve only got one chance. If I feel something, then that s it. I don t want that to happen.
England also face Denmark and Slovenia in their group at Euro 2024.
