In starting squad
Ampadu (illness) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash against Brighton.
Analysis: Ampadu shook off the illness that had kept him out of training and left him as a major doubt heading into the weekend, with manager Daniel Farke handing him a starting role after the midfielder recovered sufficiently over the final days of the week. The last time Ampadu missed a start in the league dates back to Feb. 15, making his return to the lineup a significant relief for Leeds United after the uncertainty surrounding his fitness.
Dealing with illness
Ampadu is a doubtful for Sunday's match against Brighton due to an illness, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Ethan is struggling with illness. Also, a major doubt, was not in training today."
Analysis: Ampadu is going to need to rest the next two days before trying to make a return Sunday, as the midfielder is dealing with an illness. This is a major storyline to watch heading into the match, as he last missed a start Feb. 15 in FA Cup play, leaving his potential absence as a huge loss. He will need to go through some testing Sunday to play if he wakes up feeling better, with Sean Longstaff as a likely replacement if Ampadu remains out.
