How Leeds United's defensive options can evolve following Max ... (Leeds Live)

Liam Cooper and Robin Koch played well last time out against Newcastle United and using Wober at left-back would allow Marsch to keep that partnership together ...

Marsch could look to play the left-footer in the middle and break up the partnership Koch and Cooper have built up this season. Marsch has tinkered with his formation lately and Wober’s arrival certainly gives the head coach the option of switching to five at the back if he deems it necessary. Wober may have spent the season on the left, but he emerged through the ranks as a centre-back and the 24-year-old has spent most of his career so far in the role. This option would reward Struijk for his performances on the left, though, even if he isn’t a specialist in the role. Liam Cooper and Robin Koch played well last time out against Newcastle United and using Wober at left-back would allow Marsch to keep that partnership together as Leeds move into what looks to be a pivotal point in the season. Pascal Struijk has spent the season in the left-back role for Leeds and despite performing relatively well there, he’s more comfortable playing as a centre-back.
