MIDTJYLLAND: Ajax Amsterdam could be without several key players after 11 squad members tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash at Midtjylland, broadcaster RTL reported. Ajax travelled to Denmark on Monday with only 17 players, listed in the squad on their website. The club would not release the names of players with the virus due to privacy rules. Skipper Dusan Tadic, goalkeeper Andre Onana and midfielders Davy Klaassen and Ryan Gravenberch were all expected to start the Group D match at Herning but were left out of the party. Reserve goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg has also been omitted, leaving one keeper, Kjell Scherpen, for the trip. Agencies
