Daniel Farke confirmed in his pre-Norwich City press conference that it may be 10 weeks until Ampadu is back in full team training following the knee injury he picked up in the win over Coventry City.
That absence would take him to the Christmas period, when there are so many matches and very little time on the training ground, meaning he may not be back playing until January.
Ao Tanaka is expected to step up for Leedsafter impressing off the bench at Elland Roadon Saturday, but it is going to take more than one player to get Farke’s side through this period without him.
Not only is Ampadu Leeds‘ best midfielder, but he is also their fourth choice centre-back, having played practically the entire second half of last season in that position.
With Ampadu now out, Leeds are desperately short at centre-back due to the ongoing injury issues for Max Wober.
Wober has been struggling with a knee injury since last month’s international break and Farke confirmed on Monday he will be out for the next six weeks after undergoing surgery.
That now leaves Pascal Struijk and Joe Rodon as Leeds’ only two senior centre-backs, which is even more worrying considering the former was nursing an injury last week, and spent the final five months of last season injured.
