Latest Ajax vs Lazio team news
After losing captain Jordan Henderson to a hamstring injury in last weekend's match, Ajax are expected to recall him on Thursday. Devyne Rensch could return from injury, but Sivert Mannsverk is ruled out and Owen Wijndal will be suspended. Mika Godts, who came on as a substitute against AZ, could start in place of Chuba Akpom, who is playing out of position.
Godts and Kenneth Taylor are Ajax's top scorers in the Europa League this season, each with three goals. Taylor could become only the second player in Ajax history to score in four consecutive home matches in the UEFA Cup/Europa League, after Dennis Bergkamp, who achieved this feat in 1991-1992.
For Lazio, Pedro is the team's top scorer in the Europa League this season with three goals, and could return to the starting lineup when Marco Baroni makes a change ahead of Monday's match against Inter Milan. Tijjani Noslin, who just scored a hat-trick against Napoli in the cup, could feature, while Taty Castellanos retains his place after serving a suspension for the Inter game.
Baroni will welcome back Matias Vecino after injury and Nicolo Rovella, who has served a one-match suspension.
