Leeds United are due to take on Aston Villa at the weekend, and they need three points to have any chance of automatic promotion.
Leeds are struggling for options at left-back, with Barry Douglas, Leif Davis and Ezgjan Alioski all out injured.
And Bielsa’s response when asked about who his options to play at left-back this weekend were was telling.
“Dallas,” he said.
The quotes suggest that Dallas will, therefore, be handed a start against Villa on Sunday – unless Leeds change formation, which seems highly unlikely at this stage of the season.
Dallas came on early in Leeds’ last match against Brentford, which they lost 2-0 in a damaging defeat.
The Northern Ireland international did not look particularly comfortable, as Leeds slipped up when they could ill afford to.
With Leeds seemingly set to head into the play offs Dallas could now be required to feature for the rest of the season, unless the Whites can recover some of their options at left-back quickly.
