Jamie Shackleton will likely fill in at right-back for Leeds while Luke Ayling is suspended, but should the youngster be given an extended run?
Ayling was sent off in the closing stages of Leeds’ 1-1 draw against Brentford, meaning the 27-year-old will miss the trip to Blackburn after the international break.
While the possible return to fitness of Gaetano Berardi could impact the decision, one would expect Marcelo Bielsa to show his faith in Shackleton once again.

The boss has already shown he trusts the 19-year-old, handing him three starts during the defensive injury crisis earlier in the season.
Shackleton can play as a right-back or a midfielder, and his pace and ability on the ball has fans wondering if he should take over from Ayling permanently.
Ayling is a fans’ favourite due to his passion for the shirt and tireless work rate, but his performances this season have not been up the level of those before last season’s injury.
So, Leeds fans, do you think Shackleton should get a run? Is he a better fit for Bielsa’s system? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll below…
