At AZ, left back Mees de Wit is the oldest starting player at 27 years old. Especially due to the absence of Jordy Clasie, AZ lacks a veteran. The captain is also not present against Slovan Bratislava. “He is not available for the time being,” says Martens, which indicates that next weekend against FC Utrecht also seems unfeasible. Seiya Maikuma and Mexx Meerdink are also injured.
A look at the rankings shows that AZ can make good use of a result. The Alkmaarders are in position 35 out of 36 in the Conference League. Currently it trails only Lincoln FC from Gibraltar. It should be noted that there was only one round of play.
The AZ – Slovan Bratislava match starts tomorrow evening at 9 p.m. in Alkmaar. NH Sport will be there and will keep you fully informed via our live blog.
