What’s the latest news involving Leeds United?
Cited by Leeds Live, Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has expressed his delight at veteran Northern Ireland international Stuart Dallas returning to training at Thorp Arch, stating: “Yes, first of all, I’m really delighted because it was a tough road for him during all this rehab work and I’m quite sure there was some bit darker moments also for him. It’s so tough when you’re not allowed to do what you love to do, to play football and it’s great to see him the first time back in team training, at least in big parts of the team training yesterday.
