Striker Troy Parrott only played as a substitute for the last half hour in the 1-0 win against Slovan Bratislava in the Conference League on Thursday. “Troy had a small reaction on his calves after Saturday’s match against Ajax, so we have to be careful with that,” said Martens.
AZ failed to win the last six meetings with FC Utrecht. Martens: “I mentioned it in the group, but we just have to do what we have done in recent matches again.”
AZ is in third place in the Premier League after nine rounds. With the 2-0 win over Ajax, the Alkmaarders overcame Ajax last weekend.
The AZ – FC Utrecht match starts at 4:45 PM. The match can be followed live from 4:30 PM on NH Radio and via the live blog in the app and/or on the site.
