Impact Ampadu appears to be set for some testing ahead of Friday's match after he was absent from training Wednesday, suffering from an undisclosed issue that will leave him as a late call. The club would be without their starting midfielder if he missed out on the contest, with the defender starting in six of the club's eight matches, only missing out due to injury. If he were to miss out, this would force the club into a change, with Ao Tanaka and Ilia Gruev as possible replacements.

Ampadu isn't much of a fantasy option despite being a regular starter for Leeds, though. Through five games, he's racked up one shot off target, one chance created, five crosses (two accurate), 12 tackles (six won) and 12 clearances.

Impact Ampadu will not be available for the club for a few weeks after his early exit from their season opener, with the defender suffering a blow to the MCL that will leave him out until at least Sept. 13.

He will hope for no setbacks with the injury in such a serious spot, hoping he only misses the two games and reclaims his starting role once fit.
