Ethan Ampadu gives Chelsea plenty to ponder as he bids to make history with Wales

At just 21 years of age, Ethan Ampadu is well on track to make history.

Only seven outfield players in Wales' squad have more than the Chelsea youngster's tally of 33 caps for his country, such is the experience he has gained on the international stage since making his debut under Chris Coleman against France just shy of five years ago. Fresh from a loan stint at Venezia where his versatility was greater than ever, Ampadu is back in the red of Wales as Rob Page's men bid to make history by defeating Ukraine to book their place at the World Cup in Qatar.

A glance at Ampadu's CV shows two relegations and struggles for regular game-time at RB Leipzig, but the experiences have only served to strengthen the player's mindset while also ensuring he has been able to cope with adversity from a very young age.
