Plays 45 minutes versus West Ham Strakosha didn't face any shot after subbing in at halftime during Saturday's 3-2 win over West Ham.

Impact Strakosha was brought at halftime to replace injured Mark Flekken (knock) but didn't see any action as his side completely controlled actions during the second frame to get a huge come-from-behind win.

Impact Strakosha has dealt with a couple random injuries the past few months, but it looks like he'll be healthy for the final two games. With nothing to play for but pride, Strakosha could steal or a start or two from David Raya, depending on his health and what Frank wants to do.

MAY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

In doubt versus West Ham Strakosha (calf) is a doubt ahead of Sunday's matchup with West Ham United.

Impact Strakosha has yet to make an appearance for the club in Premier League action this season with David Raya starting all 35 matches for the club. As such, Strakosha's continued absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

Impact Strakosha has yet to feature for the club in Premier League action this season with his lone two appearances for the squad coming in the FA Cup and EFL Cup competitions. As such, even with his potential return, Strakosha shouldn't be expected to supplant David Raya as the first-choice keeper.

APRIL 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Active for Albania Strakosha (ankle) was active in the starting XI with Albania throughout the international break.

Impact Strakosha was fit enough to return for the national team where he played a part in Monday's 1-0 loss. The goalkeeper should be available in domestic action once more, though he likely remains behind David Raya in net.

Impact While Strakosha hasn't been officially cleared to return, he appears to be trending in the right direction. Even once fit to play, Strakosha will be hard-pressed to unseat David Raya from the starting job, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Close to return Strakosha (ankle) is nearing a return but won't return for a Boxing Day clash with Spurs, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Thomas Strakosha is also very close."

DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Strakosha "is out for a longer period with that ankle injury," according to manager Thomas Frank ahead of Wednesday's match against Chelsea.

Impact Strakosha started in 23 Serie A Matches and eight more in the Europa League last season, conceding 38 goals and keeping 11 clean sheets between those competitions. Given how consistently he's played aside from an injury during the 2020/21 season, Strakosha is a nice option to have who's capable of starting if David Raya loses form or decides to leave.
