Edson Álvarez was included in the Ajax selection for the return against Union Berlin in the Europa League on Wednesday. The defensive midfielder was injured against Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday.
Álvarez had to stop the fight against Sparta at the start of the final phase due to an injury to his shoulder. Since then it was unclear whether he would make it to the match against Union Berlin.
John Heitinga has an almost fit selection of 22 players at his disposal. The interim coach of Ajax only has to leave the injured defender Ahmetcan Kaplan at home.
The first leg between Ajax and Union Berlin ended 0-0 last Thursday. The team from Amsterdam created little and got away well in the second half with a rejected goal by former sc Heerenveen player Morten Thorsby.
Union Berlin-Ajax starts on Thursday at 9 p.m. The winner of the diptych gets a ticket for the eighth finals of the Europa League. Ajax will visit Vitesse in the Eredivisie on Sunday.
In addition to Ajax, PSV will also compete for a place in the eighth finals of the Europa League on Thursday, although the team from Eindhoven faces a much tougher job against Sevilla in-house. Last week, southern Spain lost 3-0.
