Marcelo Bielsa has suggested that Stuart Dallas can play in three different positions for Leeds United, as per his comments to Leeds Live.
Dallas was used as a central midfielder for Leeds against Arsenal at the weekend, despite spending most of the season as a full-back.
The Northern Irish international put in a very solid display, as Leeds picked up a 0-0 draw with the Gunners.
And Bielsa was full of praise for Dallas after the match.
He said: “For me, he is a very generous player, very brave. He participates a lot in the game.
“He doesn’t have a problem with either foot. He can play in the three different positions on the pitch: defending in the middle and in attack.
“Apart from that, he has one attribute which is the best you don’t see: that is a very good team-mate and an impeccable professional.”
Dallas could return to his full-back berth when Leeds have a fully fit team.
The Whites are currently struggling with injuries, with the likes of Diego Llorente out, and Rodrigo just returning.
Dallas is arguably more suited to playing at left-back, but he still helped Leeds put in an impressive performance on Sunday.
The Whites dominated the match for large periods, but could not find a way to break through Arsenal’s defence and ultimately could only take a point.
