Northern Ireland boss Ian Baraclough believes Stuart Dallas' presence would give the whole Northern Ireland squad a boost ahead of their summer Nations League campaign. Baraclough and co are set to hold a senior training camp this week as they look to prepare for June fixtures against Greece, Kosovo and Cyprus home and away.
Leeds United's Dallas will play no part in the Nations League games after his season was ended following a nasty collision with Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish in late April, which resulted in the former breaking his leg. A vital part of the Northern Ireland set-up given his undoubted quality, Dallas has won 62 caps for his country and is one of Baraclough's key players.
And the Northern Ireland boss reckons if Dallas was able to attend the upcoming training camp in a supporting role, it would give his squad a huge boost.
