​Chelsea youngster Ampadu ruled out for rest of season

Chelsea youngster Ethan Ampadu will be out for the rest of the season, following a bad ankle injury during a Youth League game.

The youngster suffered the injury during a 4-2 win over Real Madrid in the UEFA Youth League, and he will now be absent for any games that are remaining this season.

A fractured ankle is not good news for Ampadu, but it is not the type of injury that should leave any long term effects.

Ampadu was having a very good season, having featured for Chelsea's senior side seven times this campaign. He also earned two caps with Wales in November.

He was set to feature for Wales in the upcoming international games, but had to pull out because of the injury.
