Impact Wober looks to have avoided a severe injury after exiting Saturday's match injury, already training individually Monday. This is fantastic news for the club, as the defender does not look set to miss much time, if any at all, with him being a regular starter in the middle of the defense, having yet to miss a start when available. With that being said, he will hope to return Tuesday in the DFB Pokal, although he will have to undergo testing before the match to solidify his status.

In those outings, the central defender garnered six shots (one on target), 36 clearances and 17 interceptions. Given his lack of offensive upside, Wober is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.
