Leeds United fans are convinced Max Wober will leave the club in the coming days after he missed out on the 2-0 win v Sheffield Wednesday.

Daniel Farke's side cruised to a comfortable victory against their Yorkshire rivals at Hillsborough, but the Austrian played no part as he was not named in the matchday squad.

He had missed training through a minor injury which likely kept him out of the squad - but fans are insisting he will leave the club before 30 August.

This comes following heavy criticism of his display in the 3-0 defeat to Middlesbrough which saw Leeds exit the Carabao Cup in the first round.

Anger at Wober has been bubbling since he returned from a loan spell at Borussia Monchengladbach, where he spent a year following Leeds' relegation to the Championship.

Fans were left raging at each player who left Elland Road last summer, and have continued to display their frustration to the returning players: Wober and Brendan Aaronson.

Leeds United fans expect Max Wober to leave after what happened v Sheffield Wednesday

Unlike Wober, Aaronson's performances upon his return are beginning to win over the supporters, ramping up the pressure on his teammate to step up.

After a disappointing performance in the cup, and having missed out on the Wednesday win, fans are demanding he leave before the transfer window closes.

Many are now expecting him to make the move away from Elland Road, with his exclusion from the matchday squad taken as a sign.

If we think a couple could still go then 4 more players needed to come in.

Others, meanwhile, are calling for his departure given the level of his performances so far this season.

If Wober goes he really has shown no interest in fighting for anything with Leeds Utd. Dreadful performance v Boro in the Cup though wasn’t the only one. But still. not my definition of a Warrior & needs to go but needs to be sold not loaned. #lufc #MOT

If wober wants to leave let him no loan just sell and get rid that rat has not wanted to be here all summer #lufc

Every minute of his play has been dreadful, he’s made no effort to make the fans feel confident in him both on and off the field.

Made out he was a 'warrior ' . Compare and contrast with Aaronson, that lad has come in, fronted up and worked his arse off for the team . Wober is just a pathetic, cowardly excuse for a man .
