Shields: No leg break, but ankle is sprained
Shields was forced off the field after just 10 minutes of Saturday's match with Tranmere Rovers - and fans were concerned that he may have fractured his leg, but an X-Ray has confirmed that there is no break.

However, Shields has sprained his ankle, which will rule him out for an as-yet unspecified time.
