Leeds United skipper's season in the balance as Daniel Farke reveals Ethan Ampadu injury update
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke will this afternoon reveal the outcome of club captain Ethan Ampadu's scan to determine the severity of a knee cartilage injury sustained in training.
The skipper sat out Monday night's 3-1 victory over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane, after which Farke posited the Leeds captain will likely need surgery to rectify a knee cartilage issue.
Farke confirmed the affected knee is not the same as the one injured earlier in the campaign, which robbed United of their captain for around 10 weeks.
The manager is also expected to provide an update on Patrick Bamford (hamstring) and Max Wober (knee), both of whom are still recovering from separate issues with the latter undergoing surgery earlier this month to remedy a long-standing knee problem of his own.
In addition, Farke will preview the Whites' visit of West Bromwich Albion on Saturday lunchtime. Follow all the press conference updates here from 2:15pm.
