Ajax train without Brandt and Amrabat ahead of Danish trip

Brandt (shoulder/injury from AZ match) and Amrabat (groin) absent from Wednesday training; both doubtful for Thursday's Conference League trip to Midtjylland.

Ajax trained without Julian Brandt and Sofyan Amrabat on Wednesday ahead of their Conference League fixture against FC Midtjylland on Thursday. Brandt suffered an injury in the first half of Saturday's match against AZ and did not train. Amrabat played the full 90 minutes against AZ but is now dealing with a groin problem. Both players are unlikely to be available for the Danish trip.

Also absent were Anton Gaaei and Viktor Tsigankov. Caio Henrique and Oliver Edvardsen trained with the squad; Edvardsen has not played since mid-October, while Henrique's last competitive appearance was on 19 September against Excelsior.

Ajax face Midtjylland on Thursday, then host FC Twente in the Eredivisie on Sunday before the international break. The club resumes league action on 22 November at home to ADO Den Haag.
