Leeds boss Marsch pleased with Wobber; plans for Rutter Cup debut

Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch says is considering his defensive options for their FA Cup tie with Accrington Stanley.

Marsch is delighted with the instant impact of new signing Max Wober.

"Yeah, I think the reason why they performed well together is because they're both very intelligent," Marsch said when asked about the possibility of seeing Wober and Robin Koch again in Lancashire.

“Even though they hadn't played together before I think they understand the tactical roles, the principles, and then they committed to it at a very high level on the day.

“So it's a definite possibility that we can play with them again, but then we will have to figure out how to address missing Robin for the match against Nottingham, for sure."

One man Marsch will be looking to get on the pitch, though, is Georginio Rutter, who is expected to make his debut for the club on Saturday.

“Yeah, I think first Georgie's looked really good and training," Marsch added. “I think there's a high probability that we start with him and I think he's impressed in training.

“He's an intelligent guy and like I said before, by being in Germany he understands a lot of the principles that we use. So yeah, I'm excited to get him going for sure."
