Wales will be without injured Ethan Ampadu for the start of their World Cup qualifying campaign. Ampadu damaged a knee in training in February and scans revealed the influential 24-year-old has suffered a cartilage injury. Daniel Farke, Ampadu’s manager at Leeds, said: “Bit complicated situation. A surgery would have meant he was out for the season because if you do a surgery, it would be a few months. “We have, after more consultations, decided to try the conservative route. There’s a good chance if rehab works properly it will be successful but it still means he’ll be out for four to six weeks. “We won’t see him back in team training before the international break. “There’s still a chance he will still need the surgery. Fingers crossed, 50-50 chance to have him back for the run-in.”
