Northern Ireland boss Ian Baraclough has been rocked by the news that Stuart Dallas is facing a “lengthy period” on the sidelines with a broken leg.
Leeds United have confirmed that the 31-year-old suffered a femoral fracture during Saturday’s 4-0 defeat to Manchester City at Elland Road.
It is estimated that Dallas will be out for at least six months, ruling him out of Northern Ireland’s forthcoming Uefa Nations League campaign.
