Leeds United have been able to count on Stuart Dallas for every single Premier League game since their return to the top division last season. However, the Whites will be without him for the rest of the season and for a 'lengthy period' thereafter.
The Northern Irishman unfortunately sustained a femoral fracture following a collision with Jack Grealish in Leeds' 4-0 loss to Manchester City on Saturday. Dallas has now expressed his gratitude to fans via social media, following an outpouring of affection towards him when news broke of the extent of his injury.
He wrote over two tweets: "Huge thank you for all of the messages I’ve received in the past few days. I’ve had amazing support from across the world of football - but particularly from Leeds and Northern Ireland. I’d also like to thank Dr Williams, Dr Sarraf and the medical team at @LUFC.
