‘One of toughest players’: Leeds star missed just two days with a fractured foot-now training

Leeds United’s Head of Medicine and Performance, Rob Price, has revealed that Stuart Dallas, who missed two days of action in 2018 due to a fractured foot, is one of the most resilient players he has ever encountered.It has been 17 months since Dallas, 32, made his last appearance for the club, breaking his femur in a challenge with Manchester City’s Jack Grealish, but he has now rejoined training at Leeds.

Following the news that Dallas is back in Thorp Arch, fans are hopeful that he could return to the pitch in the near future, but patience is essential. Price has highlighted Dallas as one of the toughest players he has encountered, citing his 2018 injury as a prime example.

“I don’t think anyone has dealt with the injury that Stu had before. We’ve got to be clear, this is still part of rehab. Back in training doesn’t mean he’s available for selection. Need to build up volume of training.

 

“One of the toughest players we’ve come across. He actually had a fracture in his foot, he missed two days. That kind of player, can block out pain. Probably why he played so many games under Marcelo.”

It is remarkable to think that a player could sustain a serious injury such as breaking a bone in their foot and return to the club for rehabilitation within a mere 48 hours. However, this is the dedication and tenacity that has been evident in Dallas’ performances. He is likely to be treated as a new recruit.

Dallas missed a total of two months due to his injury last season, however, this time around he has been unavailable for a considerable amount of time. It is hoped that he will soon be able to make up for lost time by adding to the 267 matches he has already played for Leeds.
