Leeds have confirmed Stuart Dallas broke his leg against Manchester City and faces a 'lengthy period' on the sidelines.
The 31-year-old Northern Ireland international quickly became a fan favourite and key figure after joining from Brentford in 2015.
Relegation-threatened Leeds are now reeling from the news that Dallas will be out for the remainder of the season following a 50-50 challenge with Jack Grealish in Saturday's 4-0 loss at Elland Road.
'Stuart Dallas faces a lengthy period out of action due to a femoral fracture sustained in yesterday's Premier League game with Manchester City,' a club statement read.
