Ethan Ampadu gives important clue before Leeds v Sunderland
Leeds United take on Sunderland in the crucial Championship match on Monday night (April 9) at Elland Road.
After losing for the first time in 2024, 2-1 against Coventry City, the whites have to win their remaining five games and hope that teams like Leicester City and Ipswich Town add points. The last five games are like five cup finals for them.
Before the match, Daniel Farke expressed his concern that Ethan Ampadu could be a doubt for this match. The 23-year-old has been an ever-present for Leeds this season and losing him at this crucial time would have been a huge blow for them.
Leeds have struggled with injuries after the international break, but Ampadu looks like he could be fit to play in this game.
The Welshman was excellent in the defensive midfield role during the first half of the season. When Pascal Struijk was injured, Farke used him as a centre-back and has since forged a strong partnership with Joe Rodon.
With Struijk out for the rest of the season, Leeds have to rely on Ampadu at the back as the other options are unreliable, including Liam Cooper, who could be allowed to leave the club next summer.
