Jamie Shackleton injury could cause selection headaches for Leeds United's Daniel Farke – Yorkshire Post 6/10/23
Jamie Shackleton will miss Leeds United's game at home to Bristol City on Saturday, potentially causing a problem at left-back.

It is a position which has caused headaches at Elland Road
for so long.
Sam Byram has been filling in for the injured Junior Firpo,
but manager Daniel Farke has been wary in the past of playing him three times
in a week. He has not ruled that out this time, arguing the schedule is kinder
with two home games better spaced out.
Central midfielder Jamie Shackleton has been filling in both
full-back positions to good effect, but missed Wednesday's 1-0 win over Queens
Park Rangers with a shoulder problem.
"Jamie will certainly miss the game, the shoulder is
too painful, we need some further assessment," said Farke. "I hope
he's available on the other side of the international break.
"It's definitely bad news.
"With Sam Byram we'll have to see, we'll make a late
call. The situation is slightly better than last time because he's more and
more in his rhythm."
Pascal Struijk has played at left-back plenty of times but
Farke hinted he might look elsewhere rather than move a key player.
Joe Rodon and Jaidon Anthony picked up problems this week.
"Joe's all right he's a warrior, Welsh, no problem at
all.
