VideoJurriën Timber expects that he can play for Ajax on Wednesday evening during the match against Benfica in the eighth finals of the Champions League. The defender scored his team’s only goal in the away game against Willem II (0-1). He could not celebrate that goal and had to be replaced injured.

,,I came into contact with the post with my calf after that goal and then the cramp kicked in,” Timber said at a press conference after the game. “But things are going well, thankfully.”
Timber scored in the 81st minute on a pass from Antony. He was also close to scoring twice before halftime. The defender headed wide and saw goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther tapping his shot over the goal.
Erik ten Hag said during the press conference that he is hopeful that Nico Tagliafico will be available on Wednesday. The Argentinian was not match fit for the game against Willem II, but will probably be in a few days.
