Ahead of the game against Watford, Daniel Farke and Leeds have suffered a blow, as it’s been confirmed that defender Max Wober is set to be on the sidelines for around six weeks. Wober missed the FA Cup clash against Millwall over the weekend and has suffered a setback in his return.
“He has an ongoing knee problem and will need surgery as quickly as possible and will be out until after the next international break,” Farke explained ahead of the Watford game. “He will have surgery and be out for six weeks.”
Away from injury news, Farke also revealed that discussions have not been held over new contracts for players whose deals are coming to an end. Sam Byram, Junior Firpo, and Josuha Guilavogui’s contracts are all set to expire at the end of the season, and Farke has stated that conversations will be held when it is the right time.
Loan star Solomon set to be available for permanent deal this summer
As well as deciding on the futures of out-of-contract players, Leeds will also have decisions to make about loanees, and according to GIVE ME SPORT, Manor Solomon could be available for a transfer this summer after his loan comes to an end at Elland Road.
The report states that Solomon will likely be allowed to leave Tottenham Hotspur on a permanent basis if the opportunity is presented. The 25-year-old joined the Whites on a season-long loan deal during the summer transfer window and has made a big impact in helping Leeds reach the top of the Championship table.
Solomon, who has been labelled “unplayable” this season by former Leeds boss Neil Redfearn, has shown great technical skill this season, as he’s been a real threat not only in terms of goals for Leeds, but also for creating chances for his teammates. The Israel international has scored six times in 24 Championship games.

Solomon, who earns £60,000 a week at Elland Road, was recognised by the Leeds supporters for his performances, as he was named January Player of the Month. Speaking after collecting his award, Solomon stated that he feels the “love and warmth” from the supporters.
“I really appreciate it. I feel the love and the warmth of the fans, and I just want to make them happy, to keep going, to keep improving myself, and to help the team as much as possible.”
