Impact Struijk has picked up a hip flexor injury and has been officially ruled out of Tuesday's showdown against the Blues. The defender is expected to undergo further evaluation later this week, which should clarify the severity of the problem and provide a clearer timetable for his return. He has been a mainstay in the starting XI this season, therefore his absence leaves a notable hole at the back, likely pushing Sebastiaan Bornauw into the lineup as the next man up while he recovers.

Impact Struijk is dealing with an injury heading into this weeks match, as the defender suffered an injury that would force him out of training. This is a rough development for both parties, as the defender will now need topass some testing to play and the club could be without a regular starter in the defnese, having yet to miss the starting XI this season.

Consistent starter on defense Struijk has started and played the full 90 in every game for Leeds United this season.

Starts in season finale Struijk took two shots, made two clearances and won one of two tackles in the 4-1 season finale defeat against Tottenham.

Impact Struijk started 20 of Leeds' first 21 games of the season before a concussion he suffered in February allowed Junior Firpo to mostly take over at left-back for the run in.

Goes unused on bench Struijk (concussion) was an unused substitute during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Struijk returned to the bench Saturday after clearing concussion protocol. The defender wasn't given any time on the pitch but the fact that he returns to the bench is a good sign that he should be available moving forward.

Too soon to return Struijk is not in the match day squad to face Southampton on Saturday.

Impact Struijk misses out on Saturday's match as he continues to recover from a concussion. The defender had a chance to be available for Saturday's contest so he could return as soon as next week against Chelsea.

Could be ready Saturday Struijk (concussion) is expected to be available Saturday against Southampton, reports Leeds Live.

Impact Struijk was thought to be available last weekend, but he was still dealing with some dizziness and had to go through concussion protocol again. When available, he's been a regular at left-back over Junior Firpo, but without an update from new manager Javi Garcia, it's hard to tell what his status will be against Southampton.

FEBRUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready for match action Struijk is not in the match day squad to face Everton on Saturday.

Impact Struijk misses out on Saturday's match as he continues to recover from a concussion. The defender returned to training in the buildup to the match so he could return as soon as next week against Southampton.

Back in training Struijk (concussion) is back in training ahead of Saturday's trip to Everton, according to caretaker manager Michael Skubala.

Impact Struijk missed the loss against Manchester United because of a concussion, but it looks like he passed protocol and will be available against Everton. He's expected to take the left-back spot again, though there's a chance Skubala prefers Junior Firpo at this point, even though Struijk has started all but two league matches this season.

Ruled out versus Man United Struijk (concussion) will not be in the squad against Manchester United on Sunday. Caretaker manager Michael Skubala told reporters, "Pascal [Struijk] has got concussion. So the me...

Impact Struijk has started in all 20 of his appearances this season, missing just one match due to injury. In his last five outings, the left-back has notched two shots (one on target), four crosses (one accurate) and 15 tackles (11 won). With Struijk unavailable, Junior Firpo could find himself in the starting XI for just the second time this season.

Will be assessed ahead of weekend Struijk (concussion) will be assessed ahead of Sunday's match against Manchester United, according to caretaker manager Michael Skubala. "We have to assess with the medical team an...

Impact It seems like Struijk will be out Sunday if this is confirmed as a concussion, as protocol takes around five days to get back on the pitch. If that's the case, Junior Firpo seems most likely to start at left-back against Man United, though if Liam Cooper is available, that could push Maximiliano Wober to left-back, as well.

Out with possible concussion Struijk was subbed off after a hit to the head during Wednesday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Struijk has been an important player for Leeds this season, with two goals, one assist, 63 tackles (44 won) and 44 clearances in 20 appearances. If he is sidelined, it will be a big loss to Leeds, who are fighting to stay in the Premier League this season, though Junior Firpo is plenty experienced as a left-back.

Holds clean sheet for draw Struijk generated one tackle (zero won) and three clearances in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Brentford.

Impact Struijk turned in another quiet statistical night as his offensive inclusion lately has been significantly reduced. He's held up two clean sheet though in last four matches with his mostly defensive play likely helping for that a bit in which case that could remain his role for the time being. Set pieces still give him some offensive upside as well.

Impact Struijk had another productive outing on the defensive end, matching his season high in clearances for the second consecutive game and being key for his side to keep the opposition scoreless. Over his last six starts, the left-back had 18 tackles, 24 clearances and nine interceptions. He'll try to keep up with the strong play during Wednesday's home clash against West Ham.

JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nets rare goal Struijk scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-1 loss versus Manchester City.

Impact Struijk scored his second goal in 14 matches for what proved to be little consolation in the one-sided loss.

That said Struijk's three goal contributions don't give him major offensive upside and the Leeds defense has struggled to keep clean sheets.

Extends contract through 2027 Struijk signed a contract extension with Leeds United through 2027, it was announced Wednesday.

Impact Struijk was due to be a free agent after the season so there were rumors of a transfer but he's elected to stay in Leeds. With starts in 13-of-14 games this season and a solid 42 tackles made in that time, Struijk offers decent potential on his best days and figures to be a long-term member of the starting lineup if he keeps improving.

Quiet outing versus Spurs Struijk took one shot (zero on target), attempted five tackles (three won) and made two clearances during Saturday's 4-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Struijk took quite a few touches Saturday but just wasn't particularly effective with them. That said, his five tackles were tied for a team-high in this one. Struijk wasn't selected for his country's World Cup squad, so he'll now have some time to rest and train before Leeds next face Man City at home.

Out Thursday due to injury Struijk has been ruled out for Thursday's trip to Leicester City due to injury, according to manager Jesse Marsch.

Impact Struijk had completed the full 90 in all nine matches so something likely came up in training to knock him out of Thursday's road contest. In his absence, Junior Firpo has been named as the starter at left-back, which would be his first appearance in the lineup this season.
