AFC Ajax’s Frank de Boer hopes for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 – Eredivisie news
Ajax Amsterdam’s Miralem Sulejmani sustained a hamstring injury last week in their UEFA Champions League encounter against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130. Frank de Boer, the Amsterdammers manager, hopes that the winger recovers fully before crunch Eredivisie clash against
FC Twente Enschede on the weekend.
The 22-year-old arrived at Amsterdam Arena in the summer of 2008 following his two-season spell at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Heerenveen-c40463. The impressive winger has so far netted 22 goals while providing plenty of assists in well over 75 appearances.
Since his arrival in Amsterdam, the Serbian ace has become one of the key players in the Amsterdammers’ attacking third. The 22-year-old limped off the pitch midway through the second-half after sustaining a hamstring injury.
Earlier reports indicated that the promising young winger would be sidelined from action for almost three weeks. However, recent reports confirm that the Serbian International is recovering faster than expected.
De Boer revealed that the 22-year-old has started light training with the squad and he might play against their title rivals FC Twente on Saturday.
“He has already started training with the squad and will be tested again on Thursday. I have not written him off for Saturday. We need to make a proper assessment before involving him in weekend’s action, as I do not intend to lose him for a long time”,
De Boer said while talking to the media.
Araz Ozibiliz is also sidelined due to an ankle injury along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vurnon-Anita-c36486. Nicolai Boilesen is already out from action for at least two weeks due to a hamstring injury, giving selection headaches to the Amsterdammers tactician.
“Araz sustained an ankle injury. Boilesen and Anita are also unavailable. However, we will probably become certain about the possible available players for selection on Friday”, De Boer concluded.
Ajax will battle against FC Twente at Amsterdam Arena on Saturday, September 24. The Dutch trainer knows the importance of the upcoming encounter against their title rivals. He will be hoping that Sulejmani proves his fitness before the match to earn a starting
berth.
