Josip Sutalo - Out to face Qarabag Sutalo is out for Wednesday's match against Qarabag, according to Ajax Life.

Impact Sutalo did not travel with the team and is now not an option for the club, set to miss out due to an injury. This is a rough loss for the club, as he has started in their past three games. That said, this will force a change for the club, with Jorthy Mokio likely to enter the starting XI in the middle of the defense in his spot.

Anton Gaaei - Back on bench Gaaei (undisclosed) was back on the bench during Tuesday's 2-0 win over Groningen.

Impact Gaaei was missing against Benfica but returned to the bench immediately in domestic action. That's a good sign he's back fully fit and available. He should compete for starting minutes immediately with Ko Itakura competing for the same place.

Kian Fitz-Jim - Comes on as substitute Fitz-Jim generated one tackle (zero won) in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat to Benfica.

Impact Fitz-Jim replaced Davy Klaassen for the last 20 minutes and managed just 10 touches. Fitz-Jim has come off the bench thrice this campaign and is yet to start a game.

Jorthy Mokio - Comes off bench on Tuesday Mokio generated two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-0 loss versus Benfica.

Impact Mokio replaced Owen Wijndal in the 60th minute and recorded 31 touches. Mokio also won two duels and made a tackle. He has featured in four games, thrice as a substitute.

Rayane Bounida - Registers most crosses Bounida registered two shots (one on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat versus Benfica.

Impact Bounida registered the most crosses in the game, created two chances, won five duels and also made two tackles and an interception. This was his first start of the campaign and he looks likely to start the remaining games to help Ajax salvage a few points.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Vitezslav Jaros - Concedes two Jaros registered two saves and allowed two goals in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat to Benfica.

Impact Jaros failed to parry the ball into safety and conceded the opener in the sixth minute. He has just made seven saves in three games and conceded eight times. It will be interesting to see who starts against Qarabag in a fortnight's time, Jaros or Remko Pasveer.

Anton Gaaei - Missing from team Gaaei (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's match against Benfica.

Impact Gaaei was a late call for Tuesday, but he is not an option for the club after he appeared to fail his testing, not on the team sheet at all. This is a rough loss for the club, as he started at right-back in their last UCL outing. Ko Itakura joins the call in his place, with Gaaei looking for his return in matchday six.

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kasper Dolberg - Appears from bench Dolberg appeared off the bench for 33 minutes in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Excelsior.

Impact Dolberg was back fit after the international break and would earn time from the bench, appearing for 33 minutes and bagging a goal. He is mainly a bench option for the club, likely to continue in that role, with his one UCL appearance coming from the bench for 27 minutes.

Anton Gaaei - Late call to face Benfica Gaaei (undisclosed) is questionable for Tuesday's match against Benfica, according to manager Fred Grim. "Anton has trained, but we still have to wait and see what the medical st...

Impact Gaaei was forced off injured in the club's last contest but is already appearing to be fit again, as he has trained. However, the defender will remain a late call and likely needs to be tested ahead of the match to determine if he is fit. He is their starter at right-back, but if he were to miss out, Lucas Rosa is his probable replacement.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Steven Berghuis - Week-to-week Berghuis (undisclosed) is currently week-to-week but is out for Tuesday's match against Benfica, according to manager Fred Grim. "We look at how Steven is doing from week to week...

Impact Berghuis is still not an option but appears to be on the mend, as the attacker is now week-to-week, potentially an option next UCL match. The attacker will more than likely see the field in league play first, ensuring he is ready to be played in European matches. He is their captain and started in the one match he was available for, so the club will hope for him soon.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Anton Gaaei - Forced off injured Gaaei was forced off in the 57th minute of Saturday's match against Excelsior due to an apparent injury.

Impact Gaaei started in Saturday's match but would only last until the 57th minute as he would leave the field after going down, appearing to have suffered an injury. Unfortunately for his club, this will be something to monitor heading into their UCL match, as he did start a right-back in their last match. That said, the club will hope he is an option, with Lucas Rosa as a possible replacement.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Oscar Gloukh - Two shots, three crosses Gloukh registered two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to Galatasaray.

Impact Gloukh's two shots mark his first for the Champions League this season, of which he has four appearances. For the second time in three games, he logged multiple crosses, with exactly one of them accurate. Gloukh also has five chances created in the three-game span.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remko Pasveer - Allows three goals Pasveer made five saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Galatasaray.

Impact Pasveer got another start Wednesday, and while he fared better then compared to his previous appearance, he still did not play all that well. With eight goals conceded across his last two appearances, he does not look like a promising option as Ajax's team prepares for Benfica on Nov. 25.

Kenneth Taylor - Eligible for return Taylor is eligible for a Tuesday clash with Benfica after serving a one-match ban.

Impact Taylor was sent off against Chelsea and handed a one-match ban, but is now fit and available to return. The midfielder will likely return to the starting XI immediately for the clash with Benfica. Davy Klaassen got the start in his place against Galatasaray.

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Branco Van den Boomen - Back in training van den Boomen (back) is in training, but is still out for Wednesday's clash with Galatasaray, per manager John Heitinga. "

Impact van den Boomen was fit enough to get back in training, at least partially, ahead of Wednesday's clash. The midfielder will be a consistent depth option when fit, though his minutes could be limited at first after an early-season surgery.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Steven Berghuis - Still out Berghuis (undisclosed) is still out for Wednesday's clash with Galatasaray, per manager John Heitinga. "

Impact Berghuis is still on the sideline for Wednesday's clash. The winger has no timeline for his return and Heitinga was cagey about his recovery. That doesn't bode well for a return before a Nov. 25 clash with Benfica. Raul Moro has played off the right wing in Berghuis' place in recent weeks.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kasper Dolberg - Not yet back Dolberg (abdomen) suffered a setback, but is back in training per manager John Heitinga. "Kasper is on his way back. Fortunately, he's back in training for parts of the season. But...

Impact Dolberg suffered a setback and won't be fit for Wednesday's clash with Galatasaray. The forward could be back later in November, potentially for a Nov. 25 clash against Benfica. Wout Weghorst should lead the line for Wednesday's showdown.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Owen Wijndal - Back in Eredivisie Wijndal returned in Eredivisie action and is available for Wednesday's clash with Galatasaray.

Impact Wijndal almost made his return before a clash with Chelsea, but couldn't quite get healthy. He has since returned in domestic action and is fully fit and ready to start for Wednesday's Champions League match. Anton Gaaei could fall to the bench with Wijndal back fit.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Mika Godts - One shot in UCL loss Godts had one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 5-1 loss versus Chelsea.

Impact Godts made his third straight start in the Champions League, but he was not able to make much of an impact with his side playing down a man from the 17th minute on. He took one shot -- one of the two Ajax took in the match -- and recorded one inaccurate cross on the attack. He was subbed off in the 84th minute for Kian Fitz-Jim.

OCTOBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Wout Weghorst - Scores penalty, concedes penalty in loss Weghorst scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 5-1 loss versus Chelsea. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 50th minute.

Impact Weghorst converted a penalty in the 33rd minute Wednesday, cutting an early Chelsea lead to 2-1. Just a few minutes later he conceded a foul in the box, leaving Estevao to convert a penalty and take a 4-1 lead into the half. Weghorst was then taken off at halftime after a very eventful 45 minutes of action.

OCTOBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remko Pasveer - Concedes five in first start Pasveer made five saves and allowed five goals in Wednesday's 5-1 loss versus Chelsea.

Impact Pasveer made his first Champions League start of the season Wednesday, replacing a struggling Vitezslav Jaros. Pasveer struggled as bad if not worse than Jaros, conceding five goals and making five saves in a difficult road match at Chelsea. In fairness to Pasveer, Kenneth Taylor received a red card in the 17th minute, forcing Pasveer to play down a defender for the majority of the match. He also conceded two penalties in the span of six minutes at the end of the first half, so this poor performance reflects more on the whole Ajax squad rather than just on Pasveer.
