Ajax reports that Weghorst suffered significant damage to the ankle ligaments of his right ankle in the away match against Fortuna Sittard. He received a big tackle from Shawn Adewoye and was unable to finish the match. Weghorst then walked furiously to the arbitration to express his dissatisfaction about the lack of a red card.
Champions League
Ajax will play the Champions League match against Qarabağ FK tomorrow in Azerbaijan. Weghorst did not travel to the West Asian country. Kenneth Taylor and Josip Šutalo also stay at home because they are not fit. In addition to the meeting against Qarabağ FK, Weghorst will also miss the Premier League matches against Feyenoord and NEC. And the cup match against Excelsior Maassluis also comes too early for the 33-year-old attacker.
