Leeds United may have to manage without Max Wöber for their upcoming match against Burnley, as he deals with a meniscus issue. Wöber, who has only played once this season (in the EFL Cup loss to Middlesbrough), recently missed out on international duty due to this knee problem. Leeds manager Daniel Farke mentioned that there is a “big question mark” over Wöber’s availability, and his condition will be assessed closer to the game.
Meniscus injuries can vary in severity, and if Wöber’s injury doesn’t heal on its own, surgery might be required. The Austrian’s absence could leave Leeds thin at center-back, especially if the injury requires long-term recovery. Farke will need to carefully manage his squad, particularly in a season where Leeds are already dealing with limited depth after losing key players during the summer transfer window.
The situation brings to mind Robin Koch’s previous meniscus injury at Leeds, where he played through pain before eventually requiring surgery. Wöber’s status will be monitored, but a cautious approach may be necessary to avoid a similar outcome.
