Mika Godts may make his comeback for Ajax on Sunday as they play AZ Alkmaar away from home, reports De Telegraaf. The left-winger seems to have recovered from his hamstring injury sustained last month against FC Twente. This news arrived as Ajax boss Francesco Farioli revealed the progress of a number of injured Amsterdammers in his pre-match press conference.
“Godts’ recovery is going well and I am positive towards Sunday.”
“With Devyne Rensch it is a bit more complicated. If he can participate in the last training, he will be available on Sunday. Otherwise we will look at the next match.”
In other news, Sivert Mannsverk will definitely not be there. “He will first get minutes with Jong Ajax.”
Following these comments, the Italian looked ahead to the duel with AZ, saying, “(they are) a team with qualities and good organization.”
“We are going to prepare ourselves as well as possible. I hope to see a bit of sharpness again that I have missed a bit in the last few games. With a good freshness in our minds, we have to make sure that we regain control on the field.”
Previously, the manager addressed the injury situation with restraint, citing the stacked calendar as a potential reason for some of his player’s knocks.
“The number of matches we play is high and we have to finish the last duels well. We shouldn’t look at the upcoming matches with pain, but with pleasure. From AZ away we will play important matches that will determine what our next steps will look like.”
