Leeds United have confirmed that Stuart Dallas suffered a broken leg in their bruising 4-0 defeat to Manchester City.
The Northern Ireland international, 31, collided with Jack Grealish midway through the first half and faces a long spell on the sidelines, unable to help Jesse Marsch 's side in their fight to avoid relegation. A statement read: "Stuart Dallas faces a lengthy period out of action due to a femoral fracture sustained in yesterday's Premier League game with Manchester City.
"Stuart was kept overnight at Leeds General Infirmary and will now travel to London for surgery and further tests. It is impossible to put into words just how important Stuart is to Leeds United on and off the field. Anyone who knows Stuart, knows he will come back from this stronger than ever, and in the meantime, he is sure to make his presence known at both Thorp Arch and Elland Road."
