Ethan Ampadu - Sent off against Italy Ampadu was sent off in the 54th minute of Sunday's Group A match against Italy.

Impact Ampadu stamped on Federico Bernardeschi's foot with his studs showing and was promptly sent off. There's some debate on how severe the challenge was, but Ampadu made it easy for the referee to dismiss him without much thought. If Wales advance to the knockout rounds, Ampadu will miss the first game and could return in the quarterfinals. Chris Mepham would likely return to the starting lineup at center-back while Ampadu is out.
