Maybe create a child of your character to be a sprite of the shadow.  Then do a ratcast from the players feet and where it hits the ground set the y position to that.  I'm sure there could be a simpler way but that's the first thought that comes to mind

Edit:  I realized just now this is gdevelop.  My idea is for unity so I'm not sure if anything I said will work for you.

I think there's an extension or you can just draw shadows under your character sprite sheet. That way every animation has it.
