20-year-old must be considered: Three Leeds players who can replace Pennington v Port Vale

Conor Shaughnessy

It remains to be seen how much Christiansen is willing to trust the Irishman after conceding a penalty just two minutes following his introduction into the game against Bolton.

The 21-year-old almost ripped Gary Madine’s shirt off when defending a corner, as he replaced Pennington alongside Cooper.

Coming back into the side from the off would make sense as Shaughnessy replaced Pennington, but question marks will surround his confidence and quality.
