Max Wober to return to Leeds United as Austria issue fresh injury update

Leeds United defender Max Wober will return to Elland Road tomorrow after suffering a muscle injury in his thigh while on international duty for Austria.

The 25-year-old limped off at the Raiffeisen Arena after just 34 minutes and was replaced by Stefan Posch while goals from Michael Gregoritsch, Christoph Baumgartner and a Marcel Sabitzer brace secured a 4-1 win over Azerbaijan for Das Team .

"He will leave the team quarters in Windischgarsten tomorrow and return to his club."
