AZ does not yet have attacker Jesper Karlsson at their disposal during the first game with West Ham United in the semi-finals of the Conference League. The Swede did not travel to London for the game against the Premier League club. Dani de Wit is also missing from the 22-man selection.
Karlsson has been struggling with physical problems since the last international match. ,,Jesper has pushed the boundaries and that is also top sport. Sometimes it even goes beyond that. Now he is busy repairing it again”, said trainer Pascal Jansen last week. Sweden’s nine-time international has scored ten goals and eight assists in all competitions this season.
