Starting from an unintegrated gluon distribution which satisfies a `unified' equation which embodies both BFKL and DGLAP behaviour, we compute the shadowing corrections to the integrated gluon in the small x domain that will be accessible at the LHC. The corrections are calculated via the Korchegov equation, which incorporates the leading ln(1/x) triple-Pomeron vertex, and are approximately resummed using a simple Pade technique. We find that the shadowing corrections to xg(x,Q^2) are rather small in the HERA domain, but lead to a factor of 2 suppression in the region x \sim 10^-6, Q^2 \sim 4 GeV^2 accessible to experiments at the LHC.
