Ajax have suspended three players from their youth team following an alleged attack on a female police officer earlier this week.

Zakaria El Azzouzi and Ashrad El Mahdiou, both 18, and 19-year-old striker Samet Bulut have been questioned by Dutch police following an accusation that the woman was beaten after sounding her car horn at another vehicle on Thursday, resulting in a confrontation.

The Dutch champions confirmed that the trio will not take part in any "football-related activities" while the investigation is ongoing, and that they are taking the matter seriously.

The club added that it is doing everything that it can to help police find out what happened.
