Leeds United handed fresh injury scare after defender subbed off at half-time vs Everton

Leeds United have suffered another injury worry after centre-back Max Wober was replaced by Rasmus Kristensen at halftime following what appeared to be a shoulder issue early on.

The Austrian went down in just the seventh minute of the match holding his shoulder but bravely fought on for the rest of the first half, even making a fantastic goal line clearance following Conor Coady's header after the half-an-hour mark.

Wober, who joined the Whites midway through the January transfer window from Red Bull Salzburg, has already featured in eight matches for Leeds.

The defender has also played the full 90 minutes in four of his first five Premier League matches, as well as a full 90 against Accrington Stanley in the F.A Cup fourth round.

It means Wober joins captain Liam Cooper as defensive worries going forward, although the latter was named amongst the substitutes for the clash against Everton this afternoon.

Michael Skubala will likely give an injury update following the match.
