Left-back was an option, though all eight of his league starts have thus far come at left centre-half. ![]() There was uncertainty as to where exactly Wober would play upon joining from RB Salzburg. The January arrival of Max Wober has finally helped to shore up what has always been a leaky Leeds Utd defence since their return to the Premier League.
