Leeds United Distances Captain Ampadu from Son's Galatasaray Shirt Amid Fan Sensitivity

News summary

Leeds United has issued a statement defending their captain, Ethan Ampadu, after an image of his son wearing a Galatasaray kit was shared online by Ampadu's former partner. The club emphasized that Ampadu, who separated from his partner months ago, has no responsibility for the image and is sensitive to the tragic deaths of fans Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight, who were killed before a UEFA Cup semi-final against Galatasaray in 2000. Leeds highlighted Ampadu's leadership on and off the pitch, including his participation in remembrance events for the deceased fans. The club requested privacy for Ampadu during this difficult time and reaffirmed their full support for him. Ampadu joined Leeds in 2023 after several loan spells from Chelsea and was appointed captain for the current season. Despite some fan backlash calling for him to lose the captaincy, Leeds United stands firmly behind their captain, recognizing his commitment to the club and community.
