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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

That said, he has now missed two of their UCL games this season, starting in the one he was available for.

Owen Wijndal - Possibility to face Chelsea Wijndal (strain) is an option for Wednesday's match against Chelsea after training Tuesday, according to AD.nl.

Impact Wijndal was dealing with an injury after an early exit last UCL match, but has returned to training ahead of their contest against Chelsea. That has brough confidence that the defender could be fit, likely still needing to pass some testing to be an option. If fit, the defender should return to his spot at left-back, starting in both UCL games thus far.

Kasper Dolberg - Left in Netherlands Dolberg (abdomen) is out for Wednesday's match against Chelsea, according to AD.nl.

Youri Regeer - Goes unused Reeger (strain) went unused off the bench in Saturday's 2-0 loss to AZ Alkmaar.

Impact Reeger was forced off in the club's last UCL game due to a muscle injury but has returned following the international break, finding a bench spot Saturday. However, the midfielder would go unused, having yet to test his legs despite starting in both UCL games this campaign. He will then hope to see that spot back in UCL play, although they may take a moe cautious approach after injury.

Kou Itakura - Unused from bench Itakura (undisclosed) went unused off the bench in Saturday's 2-0 loss to AZ Alkmaar.

Impact Itakura was back on the team sheet Saturday after time out with an injury, using the international break to get back fit. However, he was unused, still yet to test his legs. He has started in both UCL games thus far, so he will be expected to return to that role, although they may be cautious after he had yet to see the field.

Wout Weghorst - Back in domestic action Weghorst (knock) returned during Saturday's 2-0 loss to AZ in the Eredivisie.

Impact Weghorst missed out for a trip to Marseille due to a knock, but is now back available. The striker is expected to lead the line for Wednesday's trip to take on Chelsea. Weghorst will need to be at his best in a match where he will likely be limited offensively.

OCTOBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Rosa - Starts in Eredivisie Rosa got the start and went the full 90 during Saturday's 2-0 loss to AZ.

Impact Rosa came off with an injury last time out in the Champions League, but now returns for Wednesday's trip to Chelsea. The left-back will be tested against Chelsea's tricky wingers, especially Estevao. Rosa can struggle at one-on-one defending, so he may be limited Wednesday.
