Ajax handed De Jong fitness boost ahead of Juventus clash

The future Barcelona star will be available to play for his side as they travel to Turin in the Champions League quarter-finals

Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong should be fit enough to feature in his side’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Juventus on Tuesday, says his agent.

The 21-year-old was substituted in the first half of his side’s 6-2 Eredivisie win over Excelsior on Saturday with an apparent hamstring injury, sparking fears that he would be set to miss the vital European clash.

However, he has since been named in Erik ten Hag's 22-man squad for the trip to Italy, allaying fears that his problem was of a serious nature.
