Ajax should it be in the Champions Leaguematch against Sporting Clube de Portugal without Davy Klaassen. Grab that news The Telegraph on Football International Monday night out.
According to both media, Klaassen will not travel with the Amsterdam selection to Lisbon on Tuesday. The attacking midfielder is said to be suffering too much from a groin injury. He also kept him aside against PEC Zwolle (0-2) last Saturday. Then coach Erik ten Hag indicated that Klaassen would be in doubt for the Champions League meeting, but he did not make it.
Maarten Stekelenburg is likely to be part of the party, according to the two media. The experienced goalkeeper was also not present in Zwolle due to groin complaints, but he will board the plane to the Portuguese capital on Tuesday. That would mean that Remko Pasveer will end up on the bench again.
The absence of Klaassen will probably mean that Steven Berghuis will play as number ten again. The attacker who came over from Feyenoord against PEC already fulfilled that role and he did that well. There will probably be room for Antony in the front right. He normally competes with Berghuis, but now has free rein.
