Kenneth Taylor - Key player in midfield with Ajax Taylor is set to be a key player in the midfield with Ajax for the fourth consecutive season and will play an important role in the squad during the 2025/26 Champions League campai...

Impact Taylor has played more than 44 games across all competitions for Ajax in each of the last three seasons and is expected to maintain that role in the 2025/26 Champions League campaign, which begins next Wednesday with the home match against Inter Milan at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Owen Wijndal - Receives starting role in Ajax Wijndal is starting the 2025/26 season as a regular starter in Ajax's backline after a difficult campaign hampered by injuries last year.

Impact Wijndal featured in 13 games last season with Ajax, holding a rotational role and missing major parts of the season due to a recurrent knee injury. That injury is likely behind him since he has started the four games Ajax have played in the Eredivisie, suggesting Wijndal should keep a starting role at left back for the start of the Champions League campaign against Inter Milan next Wednesday.

Steven Berghuis - Decent start of season Berghuis has scored one goal and provided two assists in the first four Eredivisie matches, starting the 2025/26 campaign in strong fashion before entering the Champions League sea...

Impact Berghuis will remain Ajax's playmaker this season and has started in strong form, contributing to three goals in four league matches. The attacking midfielder will continue to orchestrate play from the number 10 position, dictating the game in open play as well as on set pieces. That role should provide him with plenty of chances created and goal contributions, beginning against Inter Milan next Wednesday.

Raul Moro - Growing role in Ajax Moro has yet to record his first goal contribution since joining Ajax over the summer but is growing into a decent role in the frontline and could become a key player for the club...

Impact Moro has played four games for Ajax in the Eredivisie, starting on both the right and left wing and contributing with 20 crosses, two attempted assists and two big chances created. The Spain youth team player could be one to follow this season in the Champions League campaign as he should take some set-pieces and be the creative spark in Ajax's attacking phases.

Kou Itakura - Forced off with pain Itakura (undisclosed) was forced off in pain of Saturday's 0-0 draw against Mexico in a friendly game, according to The Chosun Daily.

Impact Itakura was forced off in the 60th minute of Saturday's clash against Mexico after suffering an undisclosed injury. The center-back will likely be assessed once back in Amsterdam to determine the extent of the issue. That said, this is a blow for Ajax since the injury comes only 10 days before the first Champions League clash against Inter Milan, and a potential absence of Itakura would force a change in the starting XI with Josip Sutalo likely replacing him in the backline.

Impact Bouwman saw a successful offseason which saw him excel in first team friendlies, eventually earning a call up to the first team to begin the season due to his play. However, the defender suffered an injury after starting in the season opener and has yet to play since due to the undisclosed injury. With the UCL season just weeks away, he will look for a rise in fitness soon, as he does have the chance to see European minutes this season despite his young age.
