How Ajax could line up against Tottenham Hotspur

Sports Mole looks at how Ajax could line up for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur.

Ajax's magical Champions League adventure continues on Tuesday evening as they take on Tottenham Hotspur in North London with a place in the final on the line.

The Dutch giants stunned holders Real Madrid in the last 16 and did likewise against many people's favourites Juventus in the quarter-finals.

Ajax also remain on course for Eredivisie and Dutch Cup success this term, though all focus for now is on the first leg of their semi-final against Tottenham.

Ahead of the midweek showdown in the English capital, Sports Mole looks at how Erik ten Hag could set out his side.


Possible AJX XI vs. TOT

Out: Carel Eiting (knee)

Ajax have near enough a clean bill of health for their trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Eiting their only confirmed absentee.

Ten Hag's men were also given the weekend off as all Eredivisie matches were postponed by the Dutch FA to give their one remaining European representative adequate preparation time.

Nicolas Tagliafico was absent for the win at Juventus in the last round but he should return here, despite being forced off against Vitesse.

There is also a slight question mark over the fitness of Noussair Mazraoui after he limped off against Juventus, forcing Ten Hag to turn to a third-choice option in that troublesome position.

Dusan Tadic has been one of the stars of Ajax's run, meanwhile - only Lionel Messi (13) has been directly involved in more Champions League goals this season (nine – six goals, three assists).

Elsewhere, shining lights Matthijs de Ligt and Frenkie de Jong are both fit and available.
