Goalkeeper André Onana, captain Dusan Tadic and midfielder Ryan Gravenberch traveled to Denmark on Monday evening for the Champions League match of Ajax against FC Midtjylland, report WE in The Telegraph. It is still unclear whether the trio can participate on Tuesday.
A spokesperson for Ajax cannot confirm the news and says that only when the line-up is announced, about fifteen minutes before kick-off, it will become clear whether Onana, Tadic and Gravenberch belong to the team.
The three belonged to the Ajax players who stayed behind in Amsterdam earlier in the day. They tested positive in a mandatory UEFA corona test. Ajax questioned that outcome, which was still negative in a second test. They would have been infected before and therefore have residual values in their blood.
According to the corona guidelines that apply in Denmark, the positively tested Ajax players were initially not allowed to enter the country. That still applies to Davy Klaassen, Maarten Stekelenburg, Zakaria Labyad and Dominik Kotarski; they would have contracted the coronavirus more recently and also tested positive in the second round of testing.
Sharp is still the only goalkeeper in selection
Especially the availability of first goalkeeper Onana would be good news for Ajax, because Kjell Scherpen is still the only keeper in the selection due to the corona problems. He is normally the third goalkeeper.
Trainer Erik ten Hag announced earlier on Monday evening that he had high hopes that one or more of the players who stayed behind in Amsterdam can still participate against Midtjylland. He also said he was disappointed by the rules in Denmark, which are stricter than in the Netherlands, for example.
The match between FC Midtjylland and Ajax starts on Tuesday at 9 p.m. Ten Hag’s team must win to keep an eye on the knockout phase of the Champions League.
