Leeds United Defender Max Wober Makes Successful Return from Injury
Leeds United defender Max Wober has made a successful return to action after undergoing knee surgery. The 26-year-old Austrian international featured in Austria’s 1-1 draw against Slovenia in the Nations League on Sunday.
Wober, who had been an unused substitute in Leeds United’s last three league games, started alongside Philipp Lienhart at centre-back. He played the full 90 minutes, demonstrating his fitness and earning the trust of Austria manager Ralf Rangnick.
Wober’s performance was instrumental in Austria’s counter-attack, leading to Romano Schmid’s opening goal in the 27th minute. Although Slovenia equalized late on, Wober’s return was a positive takeaway for Leeds United.
Prior to Sunday’s match, Wober had not played since September. His return to fitness provides a welcome boost for Leeds United manager Daniel Farke, who has opted for the centre-back pairing of Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk in recent games.
