The Dutch centre back will miss the remainder of the season due to surgery on his groyne, as announced by the club. This was the injury expert’s reaction.
It is acknowledged that the injection protocol was ineffective because he did not react as anticipated, necessitating the operation.
Brar, a sports scientist and physical therapy specialist, exclusively spoke to MOT Leeds News about Struijk.
It appears that he hasn’t responded as well as the team had hoped, and the other procedure—an injection—also didn’t go as planned.
“A longer return timeline results from having to become a little more invasive at that point.”
He will need several weeks of recuperation before he is fit to return to the grass, so he won’t be back in training before June.
When he teamed with Joe Rodon this season, Struijk was a mainstay in the first team; sadly, injuries has kept him out.
Even though Ethan Ampadu has filled in admirably, it’s still good to have him back, and the physios will surely be supporting him in the background.
Additionally, he gives the squad a left-back option; if no other player is hired to fill that position, he may play there in the Premier League the following year.
In other Leeds United news, the team is currently taking action to complete their first summertime permanent transfer.
