Werder Bremen<\/a> are reportedly set to snub the chance to buy Leeds United<\/a> defender Maximilian Wober<\/a> during the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old is currently on loan at the Bundesliga club, meaning that he is out of sight and probably out of mind for Daniel Farke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The German’s team suffered a dramatic defeat in their latest Premier League contest, losing 4-3 at Newcastle United<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Leeds have since responded with a 3-1 success in the FA Cup at Championship side Derby County, booking a spot in the last 32 of the competition.<\/p>\n

The Yorkshire club will find out their opponents for the fourth round during the draw scheduled for Monday (January 12) evening.<\/p>\n

Werder Bremen ‘unlikely’ to sign Wober permanently<\/p>\n

According to German outlet BILD via Sports Witness<\/a>, Werder Bremen are close to reaching a decision regarding the long-term future of Wober at the club.<\/p>\n

The report states that the Bundesliga outfit are ‘unlikely’ to sign the Austrian on a permanent deal at the conclusion of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Wober is currently on loan at Bremen until the end of the term, but has struggled immensely with staying fit.<\/p>\n

The centre-back managed just 79 minutes of competitive action in August before picking up a muscle injury.<\/p>\n

Wober returned to the pitch for a friendly match in December but almost instantly suffered a major thigh problem.<\/p>\n

Wober’s fading World Cup dreams<\/p>\n

A 31-time international for Austria since making his debut in 2017, Wober will be targeting appearances at the World Cup in June.<\/p>\n

However, the 27-year-old’s injury problems are putting him at risk of being seriously undercooked in terms of fitness for the North America tournament.<\/p>\n

Featuring just nine times for Leeds over the past two seasons, Wober’s time at Elland Road will surely come to an end this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Werder Bremen are reportedly set to snub the chance to buy Leeds United defender Maximilian Wober during the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":690438,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,4230,393,68644,94,707,2826,4884,1860,22138,7126,101,4151,93,68303,10938,1068,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-690437","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-cycling","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-epl","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-formula-1","14":"tag-golf","15":"tag-great-britain","16":"tag-leeds","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-olympics","19":"tag-premier-league","20":"tag-rugby","21":"tag-sport","22":"tag-sports-mole","23":"tag-teams","24":"tag-tennis","25":"tag-uk","26":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115880578903770846","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=690437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690437\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/690438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=690437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=690437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=690437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
