Ajax midfielder Steven Berghuis has returned to the squad for Saturday’s home match against AZ after six weeks out with an injury, but he and Daley Blind are both unlikely to start, according to ANP.
Coach Míchel Sánchez has included Berghuis in the squad. Blind returned last week. Ajax will still be without injured players Caio Henrique, Anton Gaaei and Oliver Edvardsen.
The match is a significant test for both sides: Ajax are second in the Eredivisie, three points behind leaders Feyenoord, while AZ are one point behind Ajax. Ajax have gone 11 matches without a win against AZ; AZ have failed to win their past three league matches.
