Leeds winger Stuart Dallas has picked up an injury on international duty.
According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United winger Stuart Dallas is a doubt to face Derby County this weekend having picked up an injury on international duty.
Dallas, 25, was called up to the Northern Ireland squad to take on San Marino and Germany during the international break, and started the first of those games.

The wide man played 65 minutes before being substituted for Conor Washington, and Northern Ireland went on to score three more goals in a 4-0 win after Dallas was taken off.
Whilst he would have been a part of Michael O’Neill’s side to take on Germany on Tuesday evening, but was sent home before the game due to injury.

The Yorkshire Evening Post report that Dallas has picked up a calf strain, and is now subsequently a doubt to take on Derby County in the Championship this weekend.
After a slow start to the season under new Leeds boss Garry Monk – which came after a busy summer in which Dallas played at Euro 2016 – the former Brentford man has now started Leeds’ last five games, and is on his way to becoming a key player for Monk.

Ahead of this weekend’s game at the iPro Stadium, Leeds will allegedly assess Dallas’ fitness in the hope that he could be passed fit to play.
Should Dallas miss out, the likes of Kemar Roofe or Alex Mowatt could be handed a chance to play on the left hand side of midfield against Derby – but after his recent displays, Dallas would certainly be missed.
