Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has backed Luke Shaw to return to a "good level" once he recovers from a broken leg.
The Manchester United full-back, who moved to Old Trafford from Southampton last year, is expected to be on the sidelines for six months after undergoing surgery on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old remains in hospital in Holland after he suffered the injury during United's 2-1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in their opening group match in the Champions League.
"It's a player from the academy of Southampton," Koeman said in this afternoon's press conference. "We wish the player a speedy recovery. It will be a tough time for the player but I think he's strong enough to come back on a good level."
Reports have claimed that Shaw will have a second operation in Eindhoven today.
