England hero Luke Shaw played Euro 2020 final, semi-final and QF with BROKEN RIBS – showing how much it meant to him

BRAVE Luke Shaw played the Euro 2020 quarter-final, semi-final and final with BROKEN RIBS.

SunSport has learned the Manchester United ace, 26, sustained the nasty injury during England‘s 2-0 last 16 triumph over Germany.

Shaw started every match in the knockout stage, including the 4-0 win over Ukraine and 2-1 extra-time victory over Denmark.

He even scored England’s opener in the final against Italy at Wembley – his first-ever goal for the Three Lions and the earliest in a European Championship finale after just 117 seconds.

But the left-back – one of England’s standout players at the tournament – bravely fought through the pain for almost the entire knockout stage after breaking his ribs against Germany.

Man Utd are now keen to assess Shaw’s fitness as soon as possible.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had hoped the defender would return to Carrington immediately after the tournament to undergo scans.

But all players involved in the Euros have been given an extended holiday to enjoy some R&R.

Shaw is currently enjoying some time in Greek island Mykonos along with England pals Declan Rice, Kyle Walker, Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell, Jack Grealish, Kalvin Philips and Ben White.

Losing Shaw would be a monster blow to Solskjaer after the Three Lions star enjoyed a superb season at Old Trafford, keeping 2020 buy Alex Telles out of the team.

His red-hot form saw him named in Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2020 squad.

Fans were left frustrated after Kieran Trippier was named for the tournament opener against Croatia.

But Shaw played every minute for England from the second game – the 0-0 draw with Scotland – onward as he kept Ben Chilwell out of the team.

Shaw was beaten to a spot in the Euro 2020 Team of the Tournament by Italy ace Leonardo Spinazzola.

But in the stats-based XI, Shaw deservedly beat his Italian rival into the team.
