The defender suffered a fracture in his ankle during Chelsea’s UEFA Youth League fixture against Real Madrid during the week.
The news comes as a huge blow to the
Welshman, who has enjoyed a fine first season at Stamford Bridge after
joining from Exeter City.
Ampadu has surpassed all expectations at
Stamford Bridge, featuring in cup competitions and making his Premier
League debut earlier in the campaign.
The versatile defender was due to feature in the Dragons’ China Cup at the end of this month.
The former Exeter City defender was named in Ryan Giggs’ first squad, where he was one of several highly-rated youngsters.
Antonio Conte has been a known admirer of
the player and Ampadu will be hoping he can bounce back and prepare for
next season, regardless of who is sat in the dugout.
