Ampadu 'had no responsibility' for photo

Leeds United have said captain Ethan Ampadu "had no responsibility" for a photo posted on social media of his young son wearing a Galatasaray shirt.

Two Leeds fans, Kevin Speight and Christopher Loftus, were stabbed to death in Istanbul on the eve of the Uefa Cup semi-final match between Leeds and Galatasaray in 2000.

The Championship title winners said in a statement that the Wales international had separated from the boy's mother "several months ago" and "has the full support of everybody at Leeds United".

They added that Ampadu was "aware of and sensitive to the tragic loss within the Loftus and Speight families".

"The club asks for Ethan's privacy to be respected in what is a difficult time for him personally," they said.

"Our captain has been a leader on and off the pitch this season, demonstrating his commitment to the club, its history, and the broader Leeds community."
