Latest Ajax vs Lazio team information
Ajax are expected to recall captain Jordan Henderson on Thursday after missing his hamstring injury at the weekend. Devyne Rensch could return from injury, but Sivert Mannsverk is out and Owen Wijndal is suspended. Mika Godts, who came on as a substitute against AZ, could start in place of Chuba Akpom, who played out of position.
Godts and Kenneth Taylor are Ajax's top scorers in the Europa League this season, with three goals each. Taylor could become only the second player in Ajax's history to score in four consecutive home games in the UEFA Cup/Europa League, after Dennis Bergkamp, who did so from 1991-92.
For Lazio, Pedro is the team's top scorer in the Europa League this season with three goals and could return to the starting line-up as Marco Baroni makes changes ahead of Monday's clash with Inter Milan. Tijjani Noslin, fresh from his hat-trick against Napoli in the cup, could feature, while Taty Castellanos retains his place after serving a suspension against Inter.
Baroni will welcome back Matias Vecino from injury and Nicolo Rovella, who has served a one-match suspension.
