Help please!! Chair repair and new to the game!

Hi everyone - id really appreciate some help on fixing a few cracks I have in a dining room chair.
I’ve attached the picture below - is it just a case of getting wood dust and superglue then clamping it together tight?
Any help would be great
Thanks
Jack

Welcome Jack. I think we'd need some more photos, please, from the side in particular. It's important that we can see where the damage is.

Thanks Mike - until tomorrow this is the view from the front

If that wood has broken all the way through, I think it needs a new leg. I wouldn't want to trust glue on what looks like quite a short, cross-grain break.

Often times I see chair legs cut with disregard to grain direction, easily tricking the
unwary customer who pay little attention to such things.
