Goes full 90 in big win Struijk went the full 90 in Sunday's win against West Ham, producing five tackles (two won), three clearances and two blocks.
Impact Struijk isn't a massive fantasy asset, but he gives Leeds an experienced defensive player, something they've lacked the past month. Struijk will likely continue at center-back as needed, but he can also fill in as a defensive midfielder, especially with Adam Forshaw recently injured.

Good to go Sunday Struijk is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match against West Ham.
Impact Struijk is good to go after a hip injury caused him to be a slight doubt in the buildup to the match. The defender takes up a role in the Leeds back line for Sunday's Premier League clash with West Ham.

Should be option Sunday Struijk (hip) is probable to return to the squad Sunday against West Ham, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact This update came out of nowhere on Struijk, who had no timetable to return only a week ago. He hasn't played since November, but given the lack of options in the side, there's a chance he gets an immediate start if not be the first option off the bench Sunday, depending on his fitness.

Has no timetable to return Struijk (hip) has no timeline to return, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact It's not a positive update on Struijk, who hasn't played since November because of a hip injury. It's unclear the exact issue, but it doesn't sound like he'll be ready to play in the next couple weeks, which is unfortunate for injury-hampered Leeds.

Remains sidelined Wednesday Struijk (hip) is expected to miss his third straight match as the squad remains unchanged heading into Tuesday's matchup with Manchester City.
Impact Over his last five contests, Struijk registered one shot (off target), 12 tackles (seven won) and eight interceptions. Whenever the defender does get back onto the pitch, he is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value outside of defensive stats.

Should be available Sunday Struijk has a knock around his hip but should be available for Sunday's match against Brentford, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact Struijk went 45 minutes midweek, but he was forced off with a hip issue. There's a chance he'll move back to the bench because of this knock, which would allow Junior Firpo to return to left-back in a winnable match against Brentford.
DECEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Subbed off at halftime Struijk was subbed off at the break after dealing with an ankle issue in the first half of Tuesday's match against Crystal Palace.
Impact Struijk struggled early in Tuesday's match against Jordan Ayew and that led to a late yellow card, but he also suffered what appeared to be an ankle problem. He's not a natural full-back, so it's not too surprising and he may not appear there again with Junior Firpo healthy.

Defensive volume in midfield Struijk made five tackles and two interceptions during Saturday's one-all draw with Wolves.
Impact Struijk made five tackles in a more advanced role in midfield Saturday. The center-back stepped forward into a deep-lying midfield role and produced some decent volume. Next up for Struijk is a favorable trip to Norwich.

Eligible to return Saturday Struijk served his three-match suspension and is eligible for Saturday's match against Watford.
Impact Struijk served two matches in league play and then another in a Cup match, so he'll be available Saturday. He'll be a nice boost to what has been an injury-battered back line for Leeds. It's expected he'll start against Watford, similar to the first three matches of the season.

Sent off against Liverpool Struijk was sent off in the 60th minute of Sunday's match against Liverpool.
Impact Struijk likely broke Harvey Elliott's leg in a tackle and was eventually shown the card once it was realized how severe the injury was. For violent conduct the punishment is a three-game ban, so Struijk wouldn't be back until Oct 16 at Southampton. Someone else will need to help shore up the defense as Diego Llorente also picked up a knock in Sunday's game.

Makes three clearances at Burnley Struijk made two tackles (one won), two interceptions, three clearances and one block and picked up a yellow card in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Burnley.
Impact Struijk had a good defensive outing, but they couldn't find their first win of the season yet. The centerback also received his first yellow card of the season, though. He will now have a tougher matchup against Liverpool on Sep 12.
AUGUST 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ends season off bench Struijk finished with one goal and seven clean sheets from 22 starts in 27 appearances this past season, most of them at center-back.
Impact Struijk played as more of a backup to Kalvin Phillips earlier in the season, but he soon found a role at center-back because of other injuries. It's unclear if he'll hold onto that role, but he was more of a bench option to begin the season and if everyone is healthy, there may not be a spot in the XI to open next season.
