Despite being “weeks” away from returning, Leeds United’s injury boost is already having a significant influence on the squad – View
Stuart Dallas returned to the team at Leeds United this week for full training following a protracted absence due to a leg injury sustained in April 2022.
Stuart Dallas returns to the squad as the team returns to the Championship after being stretchered off against Manchester City at home in April 2022 due to a broken femur.
Although the path to recovery from his injuries has been long, it now appears that we will soon see him back in a white shirt.
When will Dallas return?
Dallas has resumed team training at Thorp Arch as he works towards a return from injury, it was announced on Thursday evening.

In his long remarks about Dallas during today’s pre-game news conference, Daniel Farke mentioned the legendary Northern Irishman, as reported by LeedsLive:
“Yes, first of all, I’m extremely happy for him because it was a difficult path during all of this rehab work, and I’m fairly certain that there were some slightly darker periods for him as well.
“It’s so difficult to be prohibited from doing what you want to do, which is play football, so it’s nice to see him for the first time back in team practise, at least for a significant portion of yesterday’s team practise. You could tell that everyone in the team was extremely happy for him and the team as a whole since they were all outside greeting him warmly and giving him a stick to the head as is more or less the custom.
“Yes, it’s a major lift for the team because he’s a great kid who shines on the field and off it as well as in the locker room. He’s a quality player but also has a lot of experience and good judgement for the whole team, particularly
“It’s the unity, and he’s a quite important, very important player for me.”I enjoy talking with him since he is very knowledgeable and somewhat of a Leeds legend due to all that he has accomplished for the team. It is fantastic to see him back. Since he was out for such a long time, it will likely be some time before he is truly accessible for the game as well.
“Normally, you have to be back in training to get back to your peak fitness after an absence. So, if I’m being completely honest, I hope it won’t go that long, but it will probably last a few weeks till he’s fully in my plans and also available but pretty.
a crucial step, and I’m happy.
Is he making a significant influence already?
As Farke explains, it will take time for Dallas to go back to full strength; we cannot, however, expect to see him tearing down the wing once more in a week.
Apart from that, Farke highlights an important effect Dallas is already having off the pitch despite being sidelined since that terrible injury.
He claims that “literally” every player is thrilled about the 32-year-old’s return to Thorp Arch training, which will significantly boost the team’s spirit.
It’s excellent to have someone like that on the team every day because it will only benefit the side.
see him so near to coming back.
