Ethan Ampadu faces surgery in blow for Wales and Leeds United


Despite missing Monday’s top-of-the-table encounter at Bramall Lane, Ampadu took a full part in celebrating Leeds comeback victory which extended their Championship lead over Sheffield United to five points.

Farke’s side are now seven points clear of third-placed Burnley with 12 games to go in their bid to return to the Premier League after two seasons out of the top flight.

They host West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, their only remaining game this season against a side currently in the top six.

After March’s opening two games, Wales’ next qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup are in June when they host Liechtenstein before travelling to Belgium.

Their four remaining matches in Group J come at the start of the 2025-26 season.

Better news for Bellamy has been the form of Leeds’ Welsh winger Dan James.

The 27-year-old former Swansea City and Manchester United forward provided two assists as the Championship leaders scored three late goals to beat Sheffield United.

James has scored 10 goals for Leeds this season, including two in the 4-0 win at Watford on 11 February.
