Schalke 04 Signs Injury-Prone Maximilian Wöber: What Does One-Percent Wöber Offer?
BILD exclusively reports that Schalke 04 has signed Austrian center-back Maximilian Wöber (28) on a free transfer from Leeds United, with a one-year contract. The move is surprising because Wöber was almost exclusively injured during his loan at Werder Bremen last season, playing only 35 minutes out of a possible 3,060 (1.1% of playing time). Schalke coach Miron Muslic, who previously sent Tomas Kalas to the reserves for frequent injuries, defends the signing, citing Wöber's fit with the team's playing style, his international experience, and his positive character. Muslic acknowledges the risk but compares it to the successful rehabilitation of Loris Karius. The club hopes Wöber will contribute significantly on the pitch, not just in the dressing room.
