Echteld to rotate AZ squad for Hapoel Beer Sheva: 'Players coming in will do well too'

Echteld will rotate his squad for Thursday's Europa League match against Hapoel Beer Sheva, giving fringe players opportunities despite the fixture congestion.

AZ manager Leeroy Echteld confirmed on Wednesday that he will make changes to his starting lineup for Thursday's Europa League home match against Hapoel Beer Sheva. With the fixture schedule intensifying after the international break, Echteld plans to rotate his squad to manage workload across the season. He expressed confidence that the players coming into the side will perform well, though he declined to specify which players would be dropped or recalled. AZ has no fresh injury concerns following their weekend match against Feyenoord.
