Mohammed Kudus starts in the game with FC Emmen on the bench at Ajax, according to the line-up that Alfred Schreuder has just announced. The coach chooses Brian Brobbey at De Oude Meerdijk in the attack. Furthermore, Edson Álvarez returns from his suspension, which means that World Cup-goer Davy Klaassen has to settle for a role as a substitute. The game in Emmen starts at 6.45 pm and can be seen live on ESPN.

Schreuder does not change anything in defense. Pasveer is the keeper, while Jurriën Timber and Calvin Bassey form the central duo. Devyne Rensch is the right back and Owen Wijndal has to defend the left wing. Daley Blind starts again on the bench. lvarez, Kenneth Taylor and Steven Berghuis are posted in midfield. A setback for Klaassen, who would play his two-hundredth Eredivisie game in Amsterdam when he came on as a substitute.

In the front, Schreuder opts for Brobbey, which is at the expense of Kudus. The twenty-year-old striker was still on the bench against Vitesse (2-2) last Wednesday because he is not fit enough for three games in six days. Dusan Tadic and Steven Bergwijn are again the wing attackers at Ajax. Schreuder has a fit selection, which means that Francisco Conceição and Lorenzo Lucca, among others, can still be brought in to force something if necessary.
