Daniel Farke has delighted Leeds United fans by confirming that Ethan Ampadu will be making a return to action sooner than anticipated. The Welsh international had been sidelined with a knee injury in February, raising fears that his season could be over. However, Leeds’ medical team managed to find an alternative treatment plan that has accelerated his recovery, cutting his expected down time to around six weeks.

Farke had initially given Ampadu a ‘50-50’ chance of playing again this season, but the defender has surpassed expectations and is now set to feature in this weekend’s game against Swansea City. This news comes as a huge boost for both player and club, as Leeds continue their push for promotion with just eight games left in the season.
The return of Ampadu not only provides strength to the defense but also adds tactical flexibility to the team. His ability to play in multiple positions will be a valuable asset as Leeds look to secure their return to the top flight.

In addition to Ampadu, Max Wöber has also returned to training, though he will require more time to fully regain match fitness. With these defensive reinforcements, Leeds will hope to pick up crucial wins in their upcoming matches against Luton Town and Middlesbrough.
The return of Ampadu should boost morale among his teammates, even if he is not fit to start immediately. His leadership and presence on the sidelines will be invaluable in pushing the team towards their promotion goal. Overall, his return signals a positive turning point for Leeds United as they seek to secure their place in the Premier League next season.
