AZ coach Pascal Jansen traveled to Brussels today with a selection of 23 men for the first game against Anderlecht in the quarterfinals of the Conference League. Jesper Karlsson is back with the Alkmaarders. The wing attacker missed last weekend’s game against Sparta due to an injury.
In the 0-1 defeat against Sparta played striker Vangelis Pavlidis for half an hour. Despite a swollen ankle, the Greek entered the field for Mexx Meerdink.
Pascal Jansen has now included both Pavlidis and Karlsson in his selection again. Bruno Martins Indi and Dani de Wit have not come to Brussels. Both players have been injured for a long time.

Last Saturday, Jansen already said that he had good hopes that both attackers could make minutes again in Belgium.
