Storylines are not in short supply at Leeds United this summer. Whether it’s the takeover, the incoming head coach, the coming exodus in the playing squad or the restructuring needed in crafting a promotion-ready unit, this is a very busy close season.
However, one of the most special narratives of the summer could yet involve one of the surviving heroes of the last Championship campaign. Stuart Dallas, now 420 days on from his horrific leg break, may finally be counting down to a full return.
It has been a long road of false starts and premature target dates, but after missing the entirety of last term, pre-season must be a real aim for the 32-year-old. It was actually at the start of last season when we saw a first step forward outdoors from Dallas.
