Shanahan said: "As you have probably noticed we don't have the wonderful Laura Woods because she's just been taken ill.
"But she's in very good hands so I'm stepping in at late notice."
Woods' fiancee Adam Collard later provided an update in a post on X which read: "Laura is all ok and with the right people.
"Thank you for all of your kind messages."
Woods covers a wide range of football for a number of different broadcasters.
