Stuart Dallas returned to full training this week as he continues his rehabilitation from a femur fracture suffered in April 2022.
The Whites have managed to alleviate early injury fears by naming a solid team for the final four Championship games, a significant contrast from recent seasons when the side appeared threadbare at best.
Stuart Dallas, who not only missed out on survival, but the entire season in which Leeds were relegated, will no doubt have been extremely disappointed by developments during his absence.
Stuart Dallas is back at the gym.
Thursday evening came the fantastic news that club hero Stuart Dallas has returned to full training with the group after a lengthy injury hiatus.
Dallas has been out of action for Leeds since sustaining a femur fracture against Manchester City at Elland Road in April 2022, and has been steadily rehabbing since then.
To the joy of fans and current and past teammates, the Northern Ireland star turned to Instagram to offer an update on his recovery:
Who has expressed their thoughts about it?
As one might anticipate, such news has elicited ecstasy among fans, who are overjoyed simply to see Dallas kick a ball again after such a lengthy absence.
His Instagram post drew reactions from Dallas players like Kalvin Phillips, Mateusz Klich, and Kemar Roofe:
We cannot expect Dallas to return to peak performance immediately or ever, but having him back with the group for training is a huge help.
Not only for the skill he still possesses, but also for the morale boost that his presence will provide to Thorp Arch.
Dallas is a fan favourite from our promotion-winning team, having created so many unforgettable moments, and his return would be yet another.
