Leeds United legend Lucas Radebe shares image with Stuart Dallas in last 24 hours
Leeds United defender Stuart Dallas was spotted at the draw against Brighton at Elland Road on Saturday 18 March with ex-player Lucas Radebe.
The 31-year-old Whites veteran has been out of action since the end of April in 2022 after suffering a serious leg injury against Manchester City.
The Athletic journalist Phil Hay revealed on 28 February that the club’s aim is to have the defender back before the end of the season and Dallas was spotted looking well alongside Radebe at the Brighton fixture.
Taking to Twitter [21 March] to post the image, he tweeted: “Great to see Tony Dorigo and one of us Stuart Dallas amazing return to Leeds United, Elland Road, Adidas legend himself, Eddie Gray.”
Looking well
The injury-stricken veteran looked incredibly well alongside Radebe as he steps up his recovery from a horrible injury suffered almost a year ago.
Dallas potentially returning from his unlucky injury ahead of the summer is a welcome boost for the Whites, but it is hugely unlikely he’d be able to feature again until well into the 2023/24 campaign.
The 31-year-old enjoyed a tremendous two years in the English top flight after the club’s promotion registering nine goals and three assists.
There’s no doubt Dallas is an incredible figure at Elland Road, but with Luke Ayling and Rasmus Kristensen already filling his right-back role, it’s important the club waits a while longer to wish him a very welcome return to the first team picture.
Maybe Dallas can soon be considered a Leeds legend like the man he’s been spotted with.
In other Leeds United news, one player’s exit could depend on Javi Gracia remaining the man in the dugout at Elland Road.
