Ajax goalkeeper Remko Pasveer about the match against Liverpool – NH Nieuws
Ajax must win against Liverpool by two goals to have a chance of overwintering in the million-dollar ball. And then Schreuder’s team is also dependent on Napoli in the last game. The Italians then have to beat Liverpool and Ajax itself against Rangers FC.
Fit Taylor and Rensch
Schreuder has an almost fit selection. Kenneth Taylor and Devyne Rensch are returning from minor injuries and Edson Alvarez has also recovered from his flu. The only absentee is Ahmetcan Kaplan.
Ajax – Liverpool starts on Wednesday evening at 9 p.m. and afterwards you can read the match report on this site.
