Mohamed Ihattaren has been training with Jong Ajax since last week. The great talent is trying to breathe new life into his career with the Amsterdammers. Trainer John Heitinga notes that his pupil must first get fit again. “Please give him time.”

“Mo must make his will,” John Heitinga says about Ihattaren’s fitness after the 2-0 win over Jong PSV. “He has to pick up the gauntlet and he determines the speed himself.”

Patience

How much patience Ajax and football fans must have with the Juventus mercenary, the Young Ajax coach does not say. “He’s not fit yet, but he’s willing. Just give him time.” Ihattaren played his last official match on 24 April on behalf of PSV against FC Groningen.
