Leeds United: Health concerns An update on Pascal Struijk’s injury amid problems.
With surgery scheduled for more than a month, the center defender, who has been sidelined for three months due to an adductor injury, has not played since the start of the new year.
According to the injury expert, he doesn’t appear to be getting better, and even when he does resume full training, the team will need to manage the situation cautiously.
Brar, a sports scientist and physical therapy specialist, exclusively spoke to MOT Leeds News about Struijk.
“It will take a long time to get him up to speed when he returns to training, which right now seems like weeks away.
It will be crucial for him to gradually increase his workload and recover during games to prevent setbacks that could prolong his absence.
“However, given his long injury lay-off, setbacks are more likely so it will have to be handled carefully.”

Being out for so long will mean that he’s tremendously lacking match sharpness and may have to play a good amount of under-21 games before he’s ready to return.
In his absence, Ethan Ampadu has stepped up in central defence and has partnered Joe Rodon well as the Whites hold the top spot in the Championship.
In other Leeds United news, the Whites have already started scouting a defender who plans to return to England in the summer transfer window.
