Max Wober set for extended absence already as Leeds United flop injured again
Leeds United loanee Max Wober has suffered another injury setback.
The Austrian departed Elland Road on loan this summer after struggling for gametime under Daniel Farke last season.
Wober linked up with Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen on a temporary deal, despite wanting a permanent Leeds exit.
Given that Leeds have signed Jaka Bijol and Sebastiaan Bornauw, there is little way back for him in LS11.
Wober suffers another injury issue away from Leeds
There were concerns that Wober might have to return to Leeds after he suffered a knee injury after colliding with Patrice Covic in training.
Kurier has reported in its print edition (18 August, page 22) that Wober has now suffered a muscle injury after the DFB Pokal loss to Arminia Bielefeld on 15 August.
It states that the Leeds loanee will be out for several weeks with the latest problem.
Leeds need to get rid of Wober permanently
Wober clearly has no future under Farke in Yorkshire; he hardly kicked a ball in the second tier last season for the Peacocks.
He has had his fair share of injury issues in his time with the LS11 outfit, and it is no surprise that he is injured once again.
It makes sense for both parties to seek a permanent exit, as it has just not worked out for the 27-year-old since his move from Red Bull Salzburg.
- Wober signed for Leeds in 2023
- Made 28 appearances for the Whites, with one goal to his name
- Missed 23 games for club and country since moving to Leeds
The Whites have made several additions to their backline, which would push him even further down the pecking order if he were to return.
Therefore, he will likely seek a departure when his loan spell concludes at the end of the season, and hopefully, the club can pick up a tidy fee for his services.
He has previously spoken of his desire to make the move to Bremen on a full-time basis, and that may be the best solution for all involved.
Whether the German side would be interested, given his injury record, though, remains to be seen.
