Leeds United manager Daniel Farke will have been relieved to see key Whites duo Ethan Ampadu and Joe Rodon rested for Wales’ 4-0 friendly win over Gibraltar on Wednesday night.
The Leeds boss has made clear in recent press conferences that he and his fitness coaches are aware of the strain under which United’s players will come this season, even going as far to say he wished he could wrap breakthrough youngster Archie Gray in ‘cotton wool’ ahead of the international break. Therefore, the German will have breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday night upon discovering that neither Ampadu or Rodon featured in Wales’ friendly fixture with Gibraltar.
Rodon and James are both just 25 years old, while Ampadu turned 23 in September, meaning all three are in line to make a century of Wales appearances before calling time on their international careers. Fortunately for Leeds, Rob Page’s decision to leave Ampadu and Rodon as unused substitutes on the night will have given the pair a much-needed reprieve following a hectic start to the 2023/24 campaign.
