Míchel hopes to have experienced Blind and Berghuis back next week at Ajax

Blind (back) and Berghuis (September injury) return to training; Míchel hopes to have both available for selection next week.

Daley Blind and Steven Berghuis have returned to training after weeks out with injury. Blind has been sidelined since mid-August with a back problem, while Berghuis suffered his injury in September. former Ajax manager Míchel Sánchez said both players are crucial to the team's experience and leadership, and he hopes to include them in the squad next week. They may be available as soon as Sunday's Eredivisie trip to Sparta, though Míchel was cautious about their readiness.
