Yet another Leeds United star ruled out v Bournemouth as Max Wober update emerges
It looks as though Leeds United will have to make do without Max Wober for another week with the defender still not training with his teammates.
Javi Gracia confirmed ahead of Leeds’ trip to Bournemouth on Sunday (30 April) that Wober, 25, isn’t expected to be involved at the Vitality Stadium.
It’s yet another blow for the Whites, who will also be without Luis Sinisterra on the south coast because he’s been ruled out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
As quoted by LeedsLive on Friday (28 April), Gracia said: “In this moment he (Wober) is not training with the team.”
Growing list of problems
What a frustrating piece of news this is.
It’s hardly surprising because Wober – like Sinisterra – has had continual injury issues since joining Leeds this season.
They’re now going to join Stuart Dallas and Tyler Adams on the sidelines for the game with those two also unlikely to play again before the end of the campaign.
Wober will hopefully be back soon because he’s shown signs that he could be the best defender Leeds have.
Since joining Leeds in January, the Austrian has made 11 Premier League appearances.
He’s kept two clean sheets in those games against Brentford and Southampton, while also helping the Whites to two wins against the Saints and Wolves.
They were without him for the heavy defeats to Arsenal, Crystal Palace and Liverpool but he made a comeback against Fulham which may have been too soon for him.
Let’s just pray he’s back in time for next week.
