Pascal Struijk ‘may have played final game for Leeds’ after Thorp Arch bombshell
Pascal Struijk’s Leeds United future is currently up in the air after a brand new revelation.
It has been a difficult period for everyone associated with Leeds United at the moment due to their slump in form, which has negatively impacted their chances of being promoted.
The Yorkshire giants had been in cruise control at the top of the division for a period, but one win in their past six games has allowed Sheffield United and Burnley to catch them.
Leeds now finds themselves third in the table and out of the automatic promotion spots, with Daniel Farke’s men staring down the possibility of having to go through the playoffs once again.
That’s what the Whites did last season, and they suffered Wembley heartbreak when being defeated in the final against Southampton, a fate they’ll likely not wish to repeat in a hurry.
Farke has been handed bad news
Farke has now handed further bad news for Leeds fans during his press conference at Thorp Arch, as he has confirmed that Struijk will miss the next two games due to an injury.
However, there are some fears that he could be out for the remainder of the season after suffering a foot fracture that is going to push Farke’s defensive options to their limits.

He will not be making the trip to Middlesbrough on Tuesday, which does weaken Leeds as a team due to how regularly Struijk has featured this season.
Struijk was seen limping at Kenilworth Road, which immediately set alarm bells ringing for fans, but they likely didn’t expect the situation to be this severe.
Pascal Struijk might be done at Elland Road
Struijk has proven to be a popular figure at Elland Road this season and has developed into a reliable defender, but he has been linked with a move away from Yorkshire.
Farke has been considering his defensive options, but any potential purchase in the summer window would lead to Struijk making way.
His performances have gained him plenty of admirers this season, and it is believed that there will be interest during the summer transfer window.
Leeds’ ability to retain Struijk was being hinged on their ability to gain promotion, but now that is up in the air his future could be with it.
