Daley Blind is available on Sunday when Ajax visit Sparta Rotterdam. Coach Erik ten Hag confirmed at the press conference on Friday that Orange International is doing well. He practiced with the selection and can play at Het Kasteel on Sunday. Ten Hag did not want to reveal whether the left leg will also start from the base at the start of the new season.

Blind drops out in preparation for this season in the exhibition match against Hertha BSC. His internal defibrillator, which was placed after he struggled with an inflamed heart muscle earlier this year, went off during the game. Blind was able to leave the field independently and immediately after the game, Ten Hag announced that the defender was doing well under the circumstances. After extensive research, Blind rejoined the group training this week.

“Good,” Ten Hag replied on Friday when asked how Blind was doing. ‘He has trained and is therefore available for next Sunday. We have good contact with the medical staff and know what’s going on. So we also know that he is safe “, continues the coach, who could not tell much about Blind’s situation, except that he can only play again. ‘She OK went for protection, That’s it. This is his protection. He is doing well, he is positive and confident about it. And we also look at it positively. ”
