Oleksandr Zinchenko - Signs with Ajax Zinchenko has completed a permanent transfer to Ajax from Arsenal, according to his former club.

Impact Zinchenko is out from Arsenal after a few years with the club, an expected transfer after he struggled for time each of the past few seasons, leading to a loan to Nottingham Forest to begin this campaign. He only appeared in eight games all season with Nottingham Forest and last played with Arsenal in the 2024/25 season, recording one goal and an assist in 21 appearances (seven starts). A starting role on the left of the defense should be waiting for him with his new club, and also an option to serve some time in the midfield.

Kou Itakura - Injured for final match day Itakura is questionable for Thursday's match against Olympiacos due to an injury, according to manager Fred Grim.

Impact Itakura is looking to be in doubt for the club's, more than likely, final UCL match of the season, with the defender dealt an undisclosed injury. This will be something to monitor for the club after he started in five of his seven appearances on the team sheet this UCL season, although he was only on the bench in the last game. Youri Bass and Aaron Bouwman are likely to start in the defense with Itakura injured.

Steven Berghuis - Still progressing Berghuis (groin) is still out for the time being, according to manager Fred Grim. "Steven is also making progress step by step. We look at it day by day."

Impact Berghuis is hitting the sidelines for the final league stage match of UCL play this season, a sixth straight game out due to his groin injury. That said, he is still in recovery and progressing. With the club almost needing more than a miracle to advance in the competition, his UCL season is likely over with only one appearance.

Wout Weghorst - Returns to action in league game Weghorst (ankle) played 15 minutes in Saturday's Eredivisie win over Volendam.

Impact Weghorst is back ahead of the final UCL league phase matchup versus Olympiacos, giving his team a significant offensive boost. The forward has scored six goals and one assist across 15 league appearances this season, plus another goal over four Champions League starts. His comeback could mean less playing time for Kasper Dolberg in the future.

Impact McConnell is reportedly back in Liverpool after being recalled from his loan at Ajax. The young midfielder will likely be loaned again in the coming week after an unsuccessful loan in Eredivisie.

Takehiro Tomiyasu - Joins Ajax, ineligible for UCL Tomiyasu has completed a move to Ajax after leaving Premier League club Arsenal but is not registered to play in the upcoming UEFA Champions League matchups against Villarreal and...

Impact Tomiyasu has arrived in his third European team following his time with Bologna and Arsenal. The versatile defender showed great qualities while he was in Serie A, but recently he was limited by a serious injury which prevented him from realizing his potential in England. He'll aim to regain momentum if he returns to the field soon in the Dutch league, but he won't be an option in Champions League action until the end of the initial stage.

Steven Berghuis - Sidelined against Villarreal Berghuis (groin) is not an option for Tuesday's UCL clash versus Villarreal.

Impact Berghuis will need more time to complete his recovery from the injury he has dealt with since October. The attacker would normally be a source of set-piece production, but he's unlikely to see a lot of minutes for the remainder of the European competition. Both Oscar Gloukh and Raul Moro may see increased playing time and set pieces in his place.

Wout Weghorst - Not traveling to Villarreal Weghorst (ankle) didn't make the trip to Spain for Tuesday's UCL meeting with Villarreal, his team announced.

Impact Weghorst will be unable to lead the front line for the second straight Champions League game after failing to recover from his ligament issue. Therefore, Kasper Dolberg should get another chance to produce against Villarreal. It's unclear when Weghorst will return to contention, but he could have only one opportunity left to increase his season counts of three shots and one goal in four UCL matches.
