Leeds United latest: Ao Tanaka update as Ethan Ampadu addresses Wales form | OneFootball

International football returns tonight and up to four Leeds players could be involved, with Wales hosting Norway and Japan facing Ecuador this morning. According to yorkshireevenpost.co.uk, most of the attention will be on Cardiff.

Leeds are nearing two weeks without a game and do not play again until Arsenal away on 10 October. The combined international break means some nations still have two fixtures to come.

Ethan Ampadu is likely to start in midfield for Wales in the Nations League, with Daniel James also in contention. Jayden Lienou remains hopeful of a first-team debut, although that feels unlikely against a powerful Norway side led by Erling Haaland.

Ampadu accepted confidence can dip during difficult spells, but said Wales have stayed resilient and together. He felt the recent defeats have not reflected their identity, and that a win, alongside a performance to be proud of, would lift spirits.

Wales are still searching for their first goal of this break after a 1-0 loss to Portugal and a 2-0 defeat in Denmark. They are yet to win in six matches in 2026.

Ao Tanaka could feature for Japan against Ecuador in Yokohama at 11.10am UK time, in what is his final game of the break. On Tuesday six Leeds players were in action, while today there could be three or four, and it is more likely to be three.
