Edson Álvarez starts at 9 p.m. with Ajax in the away match against 1. FC Union Berlin in the Europa League. The Mexican has recovered in time from a shoulder injury he sustained last Sunday during the home game against Sparta Rotterdam.
Álvarez starts as a central defender. Calvin Bassey is preferred on the left in defense to Owen Wijndal. Davy Klaassen, Mohammed Kudus and Kenneth Taylor form the midfield of the visitors from Amsterdam.
Ajax and Union Berlin failed to score in the Johan Cruijff ArenA last week. The winner over two matches qualifies for the eighth finals of the Europa League.
Line-up: Ajax: Rulli; Rensch, Alvarez, Timber and Bassey; Kudus, Klaassen and Taylor; Berghuis, Tadic and Bergwijn.
