Jamie Shackleton set to start after Leeds suffer two more injury blows

Leeds teenager Jamie Shackleton will make his second league start in the home game against QPR.

Shackleton, 19, will step in at right-back for Stuart Dallas, who will be out for up to six weeks after fracturing a bone in his foot. Luke Ayling (knee) is still out.

Defender Aapo Halme will also make his second league start in place of skipper Liam Cooper, who faces six weeks out due to a knee injury sustained in last week’s win at Sheffield United.

Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa has confirmed both Patrick Bamford and Izzy Brown are back in contention following respective long-term knee injuries, but defender Gaetano Berardi (hamstring) remains sidelined.

QPR will check on the fitness of Grant Hall ahead of their trip to Elland Road.

The 27-year-old faces a late fitness test after sitting out last weekend’s 3-2 home defeat to Hull.

The defender picked up a slight knock prior to that game and wasn’t risked.

Manager Steve McClaren has no other injury concerns ahead of the game.
