Leeds United's Maximilian Wobber has been on loan at Werder Bremen since July and the temporary move has been a disaster.
The Austrian international made his debut for the Bundesliga team in a 1–0 defeat to Arminia Bielefeld in the DFB-Pokal in August.
He suffered an injury in the same clash and was replaced by Olivier Damon in the 79th minute.
He had to stay away from the field for 111 days due to a hamstring injury. The defender regained full fitness in December and took part in a friendly against FC St. Pauli this year.
The 28-year-old played for 45 minutes and suffered a fresh setback. He has since been on the sidelines with a calf injury, limiting him to just one appearance this season.
In short, the centre-back, who can also operate as a left-back, has not yet been featured in the Bundesliga for Werder Bremen.
wobber has recently been revealed His injury is more serious than he initially thought. He also said that he is hoping to play five to six league matches this season after this month's international break.
"Hopefully, after the international break, I will have at least five or six games where I can give my all for the club," He said.
Concern over fitness of Leeds United player
Monday edition of image Relays these comments and provides his opinion on the Whites defender.
'The personnel situation at Werder Bremen remains tense' due to several long-term injured players. This also includes Wobber, who has not performed competitively for eight months and will not return to the field any time soon.
Earlier this month, the German club's manager, Daniel Thioune, said they would not be in a rush to get him back.
Thioune explained: "We have to be patient and give it time. So, there is no exact forecast."
Wobber recently traveled to London to meet a specialist, and was expected to regain fitness after the international break.
However, the Leeds United-owned player will not be fit enough to take the field straight away due to a lack of match practice. Therefore, Bild suggest that he will never be able to work for Werder Bremen again. His season may be over, and then the string of matches he is expecting may seem unrealistic.
Werder are four points above the relegation zone and it is unclear whether Thioune will risk giving minutes to Wobber.
Situation worrying for Daniel Farke's side
Werder Bremen is unlikely to exercise the purchase option. Therefore, the Austrian will have to return to Elland Road, where he is under contract until 2027.
If Daniel Farke wants to leave him out of his plans next season, Leeds United will have to sell him to avoid losing him on a free.
transfer market The value is €4 million, but his injury situation could force Leeds United to sell him at a lower price.
