Leeds United captain Ethan Ampadu is set to miss the rest of 2023 due to a serious knee injury sustained during a 3-0 victory over Coventry City. Manager Daniel Farke confirmed that Ampadu has damaged his lateral ligament and will undergo conservative treatment, with a potential return to training in December but likely not available for matches until January. The team is also dealing with other injury absences, including Max Wober, who will have meniscus surgery, and Manor Solomon and Daniel James, both of whom are sidelined with hamstring issues. Despite these setbacks, Leeds remains in good form, sitting fifth in the Championship standings and looking to continue their strong season against Norwich City. The loss of Ampadu, a key player and leader, is a significant blow to the squad's aspirations for promotion. Farke emphasized the need for the team to adapt and find solutions amid these injuries as they prepare for their upcoming matches.
