Daniel Farke has provided an update on Max Wober’s situation at Leeds United following the club’s 3-0 pre-season friendly victory over Harrogate Town.
Wober, who was on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach last season, was not present for the match, raising questions about his future.
However, Farke confirmed that Wober is due to return for testing today and suggested he may have a role to play at Elland Road this season.
The Leeds manager stated that having Wober and Brenden Aaronson back will be beneficial for the team.
He expects Wober to begin training with the first team as early as Sunday.
Farke’s comments hint at a potential future for Wober at Leeds, despite previous speculation about a permanent move away.
This comes after Monchengladbach were unable to meet Leeds’ asking price for a permanent transfer, and no other clubs have made concrete offers.
The match against Harrogate Town saw Leeds employ a back five/three formation, which could potentially suit Wober’s skillset.
This tactical setup, combined with other defensive options and potential new signings like Jayden Bogle, could create a formidable defense for Leeds in the upcoming season.
Speaking of transfers, Leeds are reportedly close to securing their fourth signing of the summer, with right-back being a priority position.
Jayden Bogle from Sheffield United has emerged as the top target for this role, potentially addressing the lack of options that forced Farke to adjust his formation in the recent friendly.
