Leeds United injury news as the Whites face a probable left-back crisis ahead of their match against Bristol City

Bristol City will make their second trip to Yorkshire in four days on Saturday when they travel to a Leeds United side suffering from big injuries

Leeds United will be without midfielder Jamie Shackleton when they host Bristol City on Saturday afternoon whilst a “late call” will be made on left-back Sam Byram and winger Jaidon Anthony is “50/50” according to manager Daniel Farke.

Speaking ahead of hosting the Robins at Elland Road, former Norwich City boss Farke said: “Jamie will sadly miss the game. His shoulder is too painful and we need some further assessment. I hope he’s available the other side of the international break.

“He’ll definitely miss the game tomorrow and that’s bad news. With Jaidon Anthony and his knock I would say 50-50, it was painful and a bit sore.

“Yesterday he rolled his ankle, today it’s much improved and it looks like he could train, we’ll have to see this afternoon and I would say with him it’s 50-50 if he’s well. I was pleased with his first appearance in the starting line-up and hopefully he’s available, if not we have to find some other solutions. But I’d say 50-50 if he’s available to play.”

Youth product Shackleton had started in six of Leeds’ nine league matches prior to Wednesday evening but didn’t make the squad for the 1-0 home win over QPR. As for Anthony, the Bournemouth loanee got his first start for the club against the Hoops having scored his first goal for Farke’s men in the 3-0 victory over Watford two weeks ago.

The German manager added: “With Sam Byram we’ll have to see and make a late call. The situation is slightly better because he’s more and more in his rhythm.”

If Byram is absent then the Whites will have major issues at left-back with Junior Firpo still side lined, as are winger Wilfried Gnonto (ankle) and right-backs Stuart Dallas (broken leg) and Djed Spence (ligament damage).

Moreover, Friday saw Leeds announce the departure of winger Helder Costa by mutual consent with the 29-year-old spending the last two seasons away from the club on loan at Valencia and Al-Ittihad.
