Immediately after the match Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch said he thought it did not look good. He could provide no details about the injury though as he had not yet received scan results.

On Sunday morning the club published an update on their website, which said: “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 femoral fracture means a fracture in the femur, or thigh. The statement also included an update on what will happen next for Dallas.

“Stuart was kept overnight at Leeds General Infirmary and will now travel to London for surgery and further tests. It is impossible to put into words just how important Stuart is to Leeds United on and off the field.

“Anyone who knows Stuart, knows he will come back from this stronger than ever, and in the meantime, he is sure to make his presence known at both Thorp Arch and Elland Road. There’s only one Stuart Dallas.”
