Dan James has claimed that Leeds losing Stuart Dallas to an injury is a ‘massive blow’, as he told BBC Sport.
The Leeds winger added that Dallas is a ‘great player’ and someone who can play ‘anywhere’ in the team.
On Saturday, Leeds suffered a 3-0 defeat to Everton, and inside ten minutes, Dallas was off the field of play.
That just summed up where Marcelo Bielsa’s side are at because, wherever they look, players are dropping down like flies.
But Leeds £25 million summer signing (Sky Sports), James, is hoping that, despite the bad news, their versatile player isn’t out for ‘far too long’.
“It’s a massive blow,” said James. “He is a great player and can play anywhere on the pitch.
“Hopefully, he’s not out for too long.”
Dallas now joins Kalvin Phillips, Liam Cooper and Patrick Bamford on the sidelines in what has been another injury-ravaged season for the club.
There is no doubt that the Yorkshire club would have been much higher up if they had a bit more luck with injuries.
Whilst they are hovering about the drop zone, even during such a problematic campaign, they should be more than fine during these final few months of the season.
Plus, those injured stars should be back sooner rather than later, which would only help Bielsa’s cause going forward.
