Versatile Chelsea Defender Out For The Rest Of Season After Fracturing Ankle
Published: March 18, 2018
Versatile Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu will not feature for the Londoners when they travel to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City in the quarterfinal of the Emirates FA Cup on Sunday.
The Wales international of Ghanaian descent was forced off with an injury after a hefty collision in the 80th minute of Chelsea's 4-2 win over Real Madrid in the UEFA Youth League on Wednesday, March 14.
The 17-year-old Ampadu had been named in the Welsh squad for the China Cup but the latest update is that he has withdrawn from the squad due to the injury he suffered against the Spanish opponents.
The initial prognosis is that he could be out of action for the rest of the season after fracturing his ankle.
Since Ampadu made his Chelsea debut against Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup in September 2017, he has recorded seven appearances for the first-team.
He joined Chelsea from Exeter City in July 2017.
