Mohamed Ihattaren is back at Ajax, the twenty-year-old midfielder says in his own way via Instagram. Ihattaren posts a selfie from De Toekomst Sports Complex with the accompanying text: “back to business“. Ihattaren had been absent from Ajax since mid-July, according to The Telegraph due to criminal threat following a love affair of the talent.

Ihattaren still played during the first two exhibition games in the preparation, but then suddenly disappeared from the selection of Alfred Schreuder. When Ajax announced the player group for the training camp in Austria, the club communicated that Ihattaren was ‘not fit’. Not long after revealed The Telegraph that there was more going on around the growth brilliance. The newspaper further reported that the intimidation and threats do not come from supporters.

Ihattaren himself responded in the negative on Monday to the rumors about his security situation. “I can sometimes laugh at the media”, was the reaction of Utrechter on an Instagram Story of his sister Najwa, who indicates that the family has nothing to do with crime and threats “and is always super strong”. “Healthy and soon back little brother, we’re fine. Don’t believe everything.”

John van den Heuvel, reporter for the said newspaper, came this week with more information about the situation of Ihattaren. “The threat allegedly arose after Ihattaren started dating a young woman near his hometown. The relationship leaked out from the girl’s family and met a lot of resistance. Ihattaren was then faced with serious threats in the private sphere. According to the police, the threat came from a criminal angle.”
