Squad

Ethan Ampadu damages knee ligaments — 102 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 102 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Largie Ramazani

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Ryan Fredericks in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Leeds United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Joe Rodon falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Leeds United find a way past Fulham

Fulham made Leeds United work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Ethan Ampadu in the eights

A performance of 8.11 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

A move Rafik Guitane would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Rafik Guitane is living that version at Leeds United, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Jaka Bijol signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jaka Bijol and Leeds United agree another 4 years.

Jaka Bijol in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Leeds United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Ethan Ampadu wants more than Leeds United are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Jaka Bijol

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Leeds United and Rafik Guitane are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
