Leeds ace Dallas has already been sidelined since the start of December.

Stuart Dallas of Leeds United greets fans as he arrives for the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Bristol City at Elland Road on November 24, 2018 in Leeds, England.

Leeds United have suffered another injury blow as Stuart Dallas has been ruled out for another six weeks with an ankle problem – and Leeds fans cannot believe their side’s luck on Twitter.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men have suffered injury after injury this season, with the likes of Luke Ayling, Pontus Jansson, Gaetano Berardi, Liam Cooper, Barry Douglas, Patrick Bamford and Izzy Brown all spending plenty of time on the sidelines.

Northern Ireland international Dallas has been a constant visitor in the physio room this season, having fractured his foot during the 1-0 win over Sheffield United at the start of December.

There had been hopes that the versatile ace was to recover and play some part of Leeds’ Under-23 clash against Sheffield United on Monday afternoon, but the ex-Brentford man will now no longer be involved.

That is because Dallas – who has played on either side of midfield, and at both left-back and right-back this season – has suffered a further injury that will keep him out for six weeks, as confirmed by the club’s website.

The winger suffered the injury in training and will now not be available until at least the middle of March, which comes as huge blow for Marcelo Bielsa’s side given that Dallas can play in a number of positions.

Leeds fans bemoaned their luck on Twitter after hearing the news that Dallas would be sidelined for some time. Many begged for a new signing, while others suggested that perhaps it could have been worse.
