Unused substitute, low down Bielsa’s pecking order – Dallas is now an outcast at Leeds

Stuart Dallas played a full 90 minutes for Northern Ireland in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Bosnia-Herzegovina, but the Leeds United midfielder hasn’t had much luck getting game time at club level this season.

Dallas has made just one start under new manager Marcelo Bielsa, against Preston North End in the League Cup, having been reduced to late cameo appearances in the Championship.

The utility man, who has played in a number of defence and midfield roles in his three years at Leeds, now finds himself an outcast. In United’s six league games this season, Dallas has been an unused substitute on four occasions.
