Marcelo Bielsa was full of praise for highly rated young midfielder Jamie Shackleton ahead of Leeds United’s EFL Cup clash against Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday at Elland Road.
The 18-year-old, who can operate as a midfielder or as a wing-back, made his competitive debut for Leeds and came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute against Derby County on Saturday.
The youngster put in an assured performance and earned praise from his boss as Leeds thrashed their Championship rivals 4-1 at Pride Park.
Bielsa has made it clear that Shackleton will be starting against Bolton in the EFL Cup clash tomorrow.
