Weghorst shines for Ajax-bute broken throws ex-Hoffenheimer back

After complaint about joker role

Weghorst recently complained about his joker role at Ajax Amsterdam (for the article), on Sunday the former Bundesliga striker shone as a match winner at Fortuna Sittard. At the 2-0, the 32-year-old first met himself and then prepared the second goal-but again only as a substitute. With his performance, he recommended himself for a starting fine, but is now completely condemned to watch. As Ajax reported, Weghorst suffered a broken toe during the game and fails for at least six weeks.

A bitter news for the 43-time Dutch international, who, among other things, misses the playoffs in the Europa League against Union Saint-Gilloise. It is also questionable whether he will be fit again at PSV Eindhoven until the top game on March 30th. The two teams are currently at the top of the eredivisia, but Ajax has played one less game less. On March 20 and 23, the quarter -finals of the Dutch national team will also take place in the Nations League against Spain.

For coach Francesco Farioli, Weghorst’s failure means that with Brian Brobbey (23) only a real center forward with Brian Brobbey (23). Chuba Akpom (29) had switched to Losc Lille on a loan and the ex-Dortmund Julian Rijkhoff (20) has hardly been able to get a train so far. “He did a great job,” praised Farioli Weghorst before a diagnosis was made. “We are very satisfied with Wout.”

Ajax-coach Farioli: “Of course we need away”

The Italian had Weghorst start regularly shortly before the winter break, but Brobbey was the first choice last month. “Of course we need Weghorst in the near future. He always wants to give everything. That is why it was not easy for him that Brobbey has been able to play more often from the start. But he’s a real professional. “

The attacker had recently expressed his displeasure with his deployment times and said that he had the feeling that his performance was not adequately recognized for the first eleven. He was therefore looking for a conversation with the trainer. Now he has no way of collecting further arguments for himself and convincing the coach of himself.
