Leeds United Defender Faces New Injury Setback: Latest Update on Knee Problems

Leeds United’s defensive issues have taken a new turn as recent reports reveal that a key player is now struggling with knee problems. According to Kronen Zeitung, the defender’s injury concerns have intensified during the international break.

Previously Maximilian Wöber was dealing with a calf injury, the player was hoping to use the international fixtures to regain fitness. However, the latest news suggests that knee issues have now surfaced, complicating his recovery. He missed Austria’s recent 1-1 draw against Slovenia and was absent from the squad for their defeat to Norway.

While there were initial fears that the calf injury had resurfaced, the new reports indicate that the knee problem could be the primary concern. This latest development raises questions about the player’s return to Leeds United and whether it will be delayed further by these ongoing injury issues.

Austrian national team coach Ralf Rangnick had to substitute the Leeds defender with Philipp Lienhart for recent matches. The exact nature of the knee injury remains unclear, but missing these international fixtures is unlikely to be a positive sign for his return to Leeds.

As fans and management await more information, the focus remains on the player’s recovery and the potential impact on his availability for Leeds United.
