Ajax are preparing to welcome back captain Jordan Henderson for their upcoming Europa League match against Lazio. The former England midfielder, who has been recovering on the bench, is expected to play a crucial role in the team’s efforts.
In addition to Henderson, Devyne Rensch may also make his return from injury, although Sivert Mannsverk has been ruled out and Owen Wijndal will be serving a suspension. Left-winger Mika Godts, who came on as a substitute in the last match against AZ, could be in line for a starting position, potentially replacing Chuba Akpom, who has been playing out of position.
Godts and Kenneth Taylor are currently Ajax’s top scorers in the league phase, each netting three goals. Taylor has the chance to become only the second player in Ajax history to score in four consecutive UEFA Cup or Europa League home matches, following Dennis Bergkamp’s record from 1991-1992.
On the other side, Lazio’s Spanish veteran Pedro has also scored three goals in their latest European campaign and may return to the starting lineup as coach Marco Baroni prepares for their league clash against Inter Milan on Monday. Dutch forward Tijjani Noslin, who recently scored a hat-trick against Napoli, is expected to feature prominently at Johan Cruijff ArenA. Meanwhile, star striker Taty Castellanos is likely to retain his spot due to his suspension for the upcoming Inter match.
With a fully fit squad at his disposal, Baroni will also welcome back midfielder Matias Vecino from injury, and Nicolo Rovella is available after serving a one-match ban. As both teams gear up for their respective challenges, fans can anticipate an exciting matchup ahead.
Ajax (4-3-3): Pasveer; Gaaei, Sutalo, Kaplan, Hato; Van den Boomen, Henderson, Taylor; Berghuis, Weghorst, Godts
Lazio (4-2-3-1): Mandas; Lazzari, Gigot, Patric, Pellegrini; Rovella, Dele-Bashiru; Tchaouna, Pedro, Noslin; Castellanos
