AFC Ajax’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toby-Alderweireld-c35183 injured during a training session at Amsterdam Arena – Eredivisie news
Ajax Amsterdam have received a major setback just before their title-deciding encounter against FC Twente Enschede, as Toby Alderweireld has been ruled out of the game with a hip injury. The player received the injury during Wednesday’s training session.
Reports from Amsterdam Arena confirm that the 22-year-old centre-back has been injured but the extent of the damage is still unknown. According to Ajax management, the young central-defender started the training session in the presence of a physiotherapist
but had to leave the field after experiencing severe pain.
The Belgian International is a product of Ajax’s renowned youth academy. He started his professional football career at Amsterdam Arena in 2008/09 season and has made 61 appearances for the Amsterdammers. Alderweireld and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jan-Vertonghen-c17814 have formed an excellent
centre-back partnership for the outfit from Amsterdam.
According to inside sources, Alderweireld is likely to recover in time for Sunday’s encounter against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233. However, further examinations will confirm whether the young central-defender will be able to play in the upcoming encounter or will miss the
most crucial match of this season.
The Belgian International had earlier missed four weeks of action as he was sidelined with an injury. He returned to the first team in the Amsterdammers win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/NEC-c40018 Nijmegen on April 17. The player had tagged the title-deciding clash as a career highlight.
However, it seems like the 22-year-old would be watching the match from the stands after sustaining the most recent injury.
Ajax have already been plagued with injuries to their key players, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rasmus-Lindgren-c30631 are yet to start proper training with the team. Injury to one of their key defenders will certainly demoralise Ajax and make FC Twente the favourites
to be crowned the Dutch champions.
