Error in laboratory causes positive Ajax-tests: ‘That seems very likely to us’ | Football

sport">“We think that is very likely,” said coach Erik ten Hag in the run-up to Sunday’s game at FC Utrecht.

sport">Ajax initially traveled with only seventeen players to Denmark on Monday for the game against Midtjylland in the Champions League. About four hours before the game, Dusan Tadic, André Onana, Ryan Gravenberch, Zakaria Labyad, Davy Klaassen and Maarten Stekelenburg were allowed to play. Klaassen and Stekelenburg arrived in Denmark more than two hours before kick-off.

sport">Ten Hag does not know whether Antony also wrongly tested positive for corona in the run-up to the home game with Liverpool. The Brazilian missed the lost home game with the champion of England (0-1), but later in the week turned out to be available again against VVV-Venlo.

Holy

sport">Ten Hag assumes that he will only have to miss Mohammed Kudus against FC Utrecht on Sunday. The midfielder has recently undergone surgery on a meniscus. “But we were all tested again on Friday morning,” said the Ajax trainer. “Those results are not yet in.”

sport">After this weekend, the coach sees many players again flying out for international obligations. “We are obliged to hand them over, but we are also in contact with the various unions. If they insist, we have to hand them over. I’m not sitting here with fear and trembling, but I’ve already given my opinion a few times. Especially now that the virus is spreading again, it is not sensible. Certainly not for friendly duels. I understand those other international matches, because a national coach also has to work with his players ”, Ten Hag referred to the Nations League.

Possible consequences

sport">“But with certain measures you can keep the virus out to some extent. When they leave, the control becomes a lot less. While traveling they enter all kinds of spaces, with all the possible consequences. “

sport">Ten Hag sees Daley Blind, Klaassen and Quincy Promes, among others, leave for the Dutch national team. The Orange squad will practice against Spain on Wednesday, before the games with Bosnia-Herzegovina (November 15) and Poland (November 18) are scheduled for the Nations League. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, ​​Gravenberch, Kjell Scherpen and Perr Schuurs have been called up for the Juniors

sport">Onana, Nicolas Tagliafico and Noussair Mazraoui are on a long journey, just like David Neres and Antony, who have been called up for the Olympic team of Brazil. Tadic is a regular for the Serbian national team.
