Marcelo Bielsa tributes at Elland Road as Max Wober’s Leeds United future unclear | OneFootball

Elland Road is set for new tribute areas to Marcelo Bielsa and Howard Wilkinson, while Max Wober’s Leeds United future remains uncertain. Work is progressing on legacy spaces outside the East Stand as the defender returns from a difficult loan spell.

According to Leeds Live, Wober played only three games at Werder Bremen after a torn muscle that demanded lengthy rehabilitation. Bremen will not trigger his small buy-out fee. He has one year left on his Leeds deal and is not expected to be in Daniel Farke’s long-term plans.

The centre-back aims to feature in pre-season friendlies to build fitness. He sees training and minutes as vital to test his body and restore confidence after his lay-off. He remains in the dark over Leeds’ plans and acknowledges he is likely no longer highly sought-after.

The commemorative project features two dedicated sections with legacy stones supporters have been able to personalise and buy. Recent activity indicates the areas could be ready for the start of the new season.

Howard’s Way will honour the last English manager to win the top-flight title, with a bespoke marble seat etched with his achievements and a stone silhouette of him lifting the First Division trophy. Bielsa’s Place will mark the coach who ended the club’s 16-year exile, including a stone silhouette and a marble replica of his matchday bucket.
