round of the Champions League group stage
round of the Champions League group stage
The Moroccan midfielder was absent from the national team during the international suspension and Ajax beat Waalwijk in the Dutch league, but coach Eric Ten Haag said he was likely to play in
tomorrow's game
That was a big boost for Ajax, with Zyach playing an important role in overtaking Lille and then scoring a hat-trick against Valencia
Despite the group lead, Ten Haag said his team could not be considered a candidate for tomorrow's match
"Ajax is not a candidate against the English Premier League side. But we will play for victory because this is always our goal. We want to play the game in the same way and strength"
He did not comment on Ajax's unexpected run to last year's semi-final before losing to Tottenham Hotspur
"Last season is over," he told reporters. "Now we are building and developing a new team and we are trying to develop with every game we play. During this process, you may stumble sometimes but you have to come back quickly
