Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw will miss the first month of the Premier League season after suffering a hamstring injury in training on Tuesday.
Shaw, who arrived at Old Trafford from Southampton for £30million this summer, was left out of Tuesday night's friendly win over Valencia through injury.
Injury to Shaw means the Red Devils are short on the left full back going into the new season as both Evra and Buttner has left the club.
Manager Louis van Gaal had voiced concerns about the 19-year-old's fitness during the club's pre-season tour of America.
Van Gaal said on July 28: 'I am always a trainer who sees the individuals and what each player needs.
'Luke needs to be fit and he’s not very fit and can’t perform how I want. He needs to be fit and to train individually.
'I can’t judge why. I see what I see. I have spoken with him and we have made a programme with him.
'He has agreed. We will have to see how long it takes. I don’t know.'
