Remains in individual work
Shaffelburg (leg) was limited to solo training during Thursday's session with Canada's World Cup squad, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Shaffelburg is a major doubt for the initial World Cup clash against Bosnia-Herzegovina, with his participation likely reduced to limited minutes in the best-case scenario. The LAFC winger is coming off a tough start to the season due to his injury struggles, and he hasn't appeared at the international level since November 2025. However, he may eventually become an alternative to Liam Millar on the left wing.
Sidelined with leg injury
Shaffelburg has been ruled out of the week 15 game against Seattle Sounders with a leg issue, per the MLS injury report.
Analysis: Shaffelburg will sit out another match after a largely inconsistent start to the season, in which he has provided two assists over 223 minutes of play. The winger has yet to make a huge impact since his move from Nashville to LAFC, so it's possible he'll remain a backup option even if he returns after the World Cup break, sitting behind Denis Bouanga and David Martinez in the depth chart.
