Ajax could have to make do without two of their key players for their trip to FC Midtjylland on Thursday in the Conference League. Julian Brandt and Sofyan Amrabat missed Wednesday's training session, according to Voetbal International and Voetbalnieuws, which report physical problems for both players.

Two absent from training

According to Voetbal International, the duo are suffering from physical problems and do not appear able to take their place for Thursday's match. Voetbalnieuws confirms that both players were absent from Wednesday's session due to these same physical issues. The two media outlets agree on this point, while De Telegraaf and NU.nl also mention, in their headlines, an absence for Brandt and Amrabat for this trip to Denmark.

Possible returns

In contrast, Caio Henrique and Oliver Edvardsen did take part in Wednesday's training session, according to Voetbal International and Voetbalnieuws. Their presence could offer options to the Ajax coach for this Conference League match.

The match between FC Midtjylland and Ajax is scheduled for Thursday. The Dutch club will have to confirm the official line-up, and the presence of Brandt and Amrabat remains uncertain until the team is announced.
