Ethan Ampadu Injury: Suffers knee injury

Ampadu is out until after the international break due to an MCL injury, according to manager Daniel Farke, per Stuart Rayner of The Yorkshire Post. "It's an MCL (medial cruciate ligament) injury. He will be out at least until the international break. Normally he's back pretty quickly after injuries."

Ampadu will not be available for the club for a few weeks after his early exit from their season opener, with the defender suffering a blow to the MCL that will leave him out until at least Sept. 13. This is a tough blow, as he did start their opener, with new signing Sean Longstaff as a likely replacement. He will hope for no setbacks with the injury in such a serious spot, hoping he only misses the two games and reclaims his starting role once fit.
