Stuart Dallas appears to have dealt Leeds United a blow, coming off during Northern Ireland’s World Cup qualifying play-off clash.
Leeds fans have been expressing their disappointment on Twitter after Stuart Dallas had to be taken off during Northern Ireland’s World Cup qualifying play-off first-leg tie with Switzerland at Windsor Park.
Dallas looked bright in the game for Michael O’Neill’s men, making a couple of good runs early on, but he was brought down inside the first five minutes after a horrendous challenge from Fabian Schar which resulted in a yellow card for the Swiss.
The winger continued to impress once he got back up and running, but his involvement in the game ended just seven minutes into the second-half with the 26-year-old limping off and being replaced by Jamie Ward.
Though Dallas has not featured regularly under Thomas Christiansen, his apparent injury in the game has created plenty of concern amongst the Leeds fans on social media.
Leeds are currently going through a dreadful run of form and desperately need to hit the ground running when they return to action in the Championship – and with Dallas starting just twice all season, and making a further 10 appearances from the bench, there was a feeling amongst the fans that he could help inspire the turnaround after the break if given the chance to play more often.
Unfortunately, it now appears that Leeds may have to wait nervously to find out whether Dallas will be available for the clash with Middlesbrough next weekend.
Here is what the Leeds fans had to say after Dallas’ evening was cut short…
