He will definitely be out injured until at least the international break, ’ said Farke. ‘He’s a tough boy and it’s a blow for us. Hopefully he’s back on the other side of the break. It’s not ideal. We don’t need to sugarcoat it — Ethan is a big miss. ’ Ampadu is now also a major doubt for Wales’s World Cup qualifier away against Kazakhstan in Nur-Sultan on September 4.
