Boss makes decisive call on Leeds United duo for season opener

Millwall boss Gary Rowett has made his first competitive call on Leeds United loan duo Charlie Creswell and Jamie Shackleton for Saturday’s Championship opener against visiting Stoke City.

Whites pair Cresswell and Shackleton have both joined the Lions on a season-long loan and the duo both start Saturday afternoon’s 3pm kick-off at The Den.

United’s Wales international forward Tyler Roberts has also joined fellow Championship outfit QPR on a season-long loan but was already ruled out of today’s opener at Blackburn Rovers having only recently returned from a thigh injury.
