Max Wober picked up an injury featuring for Austria against Azerbaijan on Friday night, with Leeds United now anxiously waiting to see if the defender will be fit enough for their clash with Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend.

Leeds head to Arsenal looking to continue a good run of form under Javi Gracia, having collected seven points from four league fixtures so far.

Gracia has leaned heavily on Wober at left centre-back, with the former RB Salzburg captain impressing alongside Robin Koch in the heart of defence.

Max Wober injury latest

Wober hobbled out of Austria’s 4-1 win over Azerbaijan on only 34 minutes, with a hamstring issue bothering the Leeds defender.

As a result of that, Ralf Rangnick will be without Wober tonight against Estonia. A statement from Austria’s FA confirmed his return to Thorp Arch for assessment.

“Ralf Rangnick will have to do without Maximilian Wöber in the game against Estonia (27.03.), who sustained a muscle injury on the back of his thigh (left) against Azerbaijan. He will leave the team quarters in Windischgarsten tomorrow and return to his club.”

There was also a message on social media from Wober, with the defender taking to Instagram to define his injury as “small”.

Leeds’ trip to Arsenal comes on Saturday afternoon, meaning there’s basically the standard match week ahead of Wober to recover.

However, the YEP have detailed how the 25-year-old has to be an early doubt for the game having hobbled out of international duty: “At this stage, Wöber is a doubt for next weekend’s Premier League fixture away to Arsenal.”
