TRIBUNJOGJA.COM – Ajax lost winger Antony to Liverpoool in the Champions League at the Johan Cruijff Arena, Amsterdam, on Thursday (10/22/2020) WIB early in the morning.
The 20-year-old started the season outstanding with three goals in five league appearances and will now be replaced by fellow Brazilian David Neres.
Ajax coach Erik ten Hag admits he is concerned about Daley Blind’s lack of speed at the back of the team in dispelling Liverpool’s formidable forward. Tribunjogja.com since WhoScored.com.
It is Liverpool’s first game since Virgil van Dijk injured his knee that ended the season at the weekend and Jurgen Klopp will also be without Joel Matip through injury.
As a result, Fabinho will be needed in defense, while no risks will be taken with Alisson or Thiago.
Both are returning from injury and are expected to remain in England midweek.
Naby Keita is at least back for the visitors and is expected to be a contender for an early position in midfield, although James Milner is another option.
Meanwhile, Ajax was home to a very energetic group of young players, but Dusan Tadic remained their key player in attack, especially when Antony was absent for the home team.
Tadic has been an inspiration to Ajax since arriving from Southampton in 2018, with 84 league goals and European appearances for the club.
In particular, the 31-year-old scored 10 goals in Ajax’s astonishing run to the semi-finals of the Champions League in his first season.
