Ethan Ampadu reacts to injury in Leeds United dressing room v Coventry

Ethan Ampadu remained positive in the dressing room despite being in pain after being taken off for Leeds United against Coventry City.

It wasn't all smiles for Daniel Farke after the Wales international was forced off before halftime due to injury.

Ethan Ampadu suffers Leeds United injury v Coventry City

Losing the former Chelsea man could prove to be a blow to the Leeds squad depending on the length of his spell on the sidelines.

It is a concern that the Wales international is in pain despite coming off early on but supporters can take some solace in the knowledge that the skipper remains positive.

Knee injuries could be a cause for concern with layoffs from these sorts of injuries potentially being quite lengthy.

There will be obvious hope that this isn't the case at Elland Road but if it is, there will be an opportunity there for someone to step up.

Pascal Struijk will take up the captaincy despite having some concerns of his own in recent weeks.

In the midfield, Ao Tanaka will likely step up to the mantle which just goes to show how strong the squad depth is for the Whites this campaign.

It is a frustrating blow for the versatile midfielder which will leave fans waiting to see how long he will be on the missing list.
