Ajax's coach Míchel has some tough decisions to make ahead of the match. According to the trainer, Sofyan Amrabat will start in the basis against PSV. Amrabat was recently acquired by Ajax and is likely to be the defensive midfielder, alongside Davy Klaassen and Julian Brandt. Youri Regeer has left for Werder Bremen, making Amrabat's inclusion a certainty.
The rest of the lineup is also taking shape, with Marc ter Stegen as the undisputed goalkeeper. Caio Henrique is likely to be on the left-back position, ahead of Joffre Torents and Owen Wijndal. Centrally, Míchel has more options, especially with the arrival of Thilo Kehrer, who is likely to start on the bench. Youri Baas and Aaron Bouwman are likely to form the central duo.
The next step for Ajax is to face PSV in the Johan Cruijff ArenA, with the outcome of the match still uncertain.
