The striker was still important for the team from Amsterdam yesterday on Limburg soil. In the rebound of the missed penalty by Steven Berghuis, Weghorst tapped the 0-1 in, while Ajax played anything but convincingly at that time. The goal of the striker came, as more often this season, from a raid.
The goal in Sittard was his seventh in the Eredivisie this season. The goals often came at important moments, such as against Heracles and NEC. With the injury of Weghorst and the sale of Chuba Akpom, Ajax can only be based on Brian Brobbey, who is not really able to find it this season (only twice in the Eredivisie).
Important competitions
In the six weeks that Ajax expects at least that Weghorst cannot be deployed, there are important matches on the program for the Amsterdammers. Such as the diptych against Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League and the duels with AZ and PSV. If Ajax continues in the Europa League, then Weghorst would also miss the next round.
