Leeds United fans have slated Conor Shaughnessy’s performance for their under-23 side yesterday.

Leeds drew 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday, and Shaughnessy struggled during the contest.

The Irishman was positioned in midfield, rather than in his usual centre-back slot, and he looked uncomfortable throughout.

Shaughnessy ended up picking up an injury in the contest, but Leeds supporters were less than impressed with his contribution before he was withdrawn.

The severity of Shaughnessy’s injury is yet to be discovered, but his absence for Leeds’ match tonight is a blow.

Leeds are already short at centre-back, and Shaughnessy could have offered cover, if he was fit.

Leeds’ first-team are set to take on Preston North End this evening for the second time this season.

Preston beat Bielsa’s side in the League Cup at Elland Road, and the Whites will be looking to avoid a repeat scoreline this time around.
