Ajax can again have Noussair Mazraoui in the Champions League match with Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday evening, the club reports on its website. The right back, like Zakaria Labyad, was missing last Saturday during the game against Heracles Almelo (0-0) due to illness. Both players are now fit again and traveled to Dortmund with the selection on Tuesday.
Erik ten Hag has included 23 players in his selection for the Champions League match against Dortmund. Maarten Stekelenburg and Sean Klaiber are missing due to long-term injuries, while André Onana is also not part of the selection. Ajax confirmed last week that the goalkeeper from Cameroon has again joined the training sessions of the first team.
Two weeks ago Ajax convincingly won 4-0 against Borussia Dortmund in the Johan Cruijff Arena. The team from Amsterdam are assured of qualification for the last sixteen in the Champions League on Wednesday evening with a victory in the Signal Iduna Park. In case of a draw, it depends on Besiktas. If the Turks play a draw against Sporting Portugal or do they manage to win, then Ajax is also assured of wintering in the billion-dollar ball.
BVB cannot appeal to his attack leader Erling Braut Haaland against Ajax. Trainer Marco Rose saw the Norwegian goal machine disappear with a hip injury. In addition, the German coach also has to miss Emre Can, Mahmoud Dahoud, Raphaël Guerreiro, Nico Schulz and Giovanni Reyna due to various injuries. The game between Borussia Dortmund and Ajax starts on Wednesday evening at 9 p.m.
Full selection of Ajax: Pasveer, Gorter, Setford, Timber, Schuurs, Mazraoui, Rensch, Blind, Martínez, Tagliafico, Álvarez, Klaassen, Gravenberch, Kudus, Taylor, Neres, Danilo, Tadic, Antony, Labyad, Haller, Berghuis and Daramy.
