Míchel doesn't rule out Amrabat and Brandt for Twente clash

Amrabat and Brandt missed the Conference League win in Denmark but Míchel hopes to have them available for Sunday's Eredivisie trip to Twente.

Ajax cruised to victory against Midtjylland in the Conference League, with the Dutch side pulling away in the second half. Manager Míchel Sánchez was without key players Sofyan Amrabat and Julian Brandt due to injury, but suggested at his post-match press conference that both could return for the weekend's fixture. Amrabat and Brandt, signed as major summer acquisitions, have established themselves as starters but were sidelined in Denmark, with Youri Baas and Oscar Gloukh stepping in. Ajax face a tough away test at FC Twente on Sunday, with the Eredivisie's fourth-placed side just one point behind the Amsterdammers. Míchel will assess the pair's recovery in the coming days before deciding whether they can feature in the 14:30 kick-off.
