Weghorst missed the away match against PSV (2-2) on Sunday because he had physical complaints. Dolberg dropped out halfway with a abdominal wall injury. “Weghorst is being tested today,” Heitinga explained to ESPN. “So then I know after training whether he is available, or he can start. He partially trained yesterday. Dolberg is not fit enough.”
It seems likely that Oscar Gloukh will play against NAC in the rush, just like during the second half against PSV. “He could play from the rush -hour position. He filled it in very well against PSV. He made the difference in the second half. Chances are that he will start tomorrow,” said Heitinga, who did not say to use Gloukh on Saturday.
Ajax plays tomorrow afternoon at 4.30 pm against NAC Breda in the Johan Cruijff Arena. The competition can be followed via the live blog on nhsport.nl.
