OUT
Injury Leg
Est. Return 7/17/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Shaffelburg is coming off another decent season for Nashville, one where he scored two goals and recorded three assists across 23 appearances (16 starts). He set a career high with 97 crosses (16 accurate) despite appearing in seven fewer matches than he did in 2023. With the likes of Dru Yearwood, Brian Anunga and Anibal Godoy all leaving the club during the offseason, Shaffelburg has a great opportunity to be a regular starter in 2025. If Shaffelburg is able to earn that spot, then he would be set up to have his best season yet.
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.
