Leeds United captain Ethan Ampadu will be out until January after sustaining a knee ligament injury in their win against Coventry.

Midfielder Ampadu had played every minute of Leeds’ campaign up to that injury and started in both of Wales’ Nations League games against Turkey and Montenegro earlier this month. The Whites are currently fifth in the Championshp, two points off top, after winning three of their last four games.

The Welsh international was forced off before half-time against Coventry City and was replaced by Ao Tanaka. Farke has now confirmed in his pre-match press conference that the knee injury that Ampadu sustained against the Sky Blues has ruled him out for the next 10 weeks.

Daniel Farke has dropped a positive 10-word update from Leeds United's doctors regarding the injury suffered by key player Ethan Ampadu.

Leeds United have suffered a huge blow to their Premier League return credentials after manager Daniel Farke confirmed that defender Ethan Ampadu will be out of first-team training for another 10 weeks - with expectations that he won't make a return to the pitch until January.
