[[[TV>>>]@@@]] Today: Ajax - Heracles live stream 12/08/2023
As for Heracles, captain Justin Hoogma is set to miss out with a calf injury, so Sven Sonnenberg and Sava-Arangel Cestic are the most likely duo to start in central defence. Jetro Willems joined Heracles on a free transfer last month and the former PSV left-back is poised to make his debut this weekend, with fellow new addition Jannes Wieckhoff in contention to start at right-back. After parting ways with midfielder Lucas Schoofs and forward Samuel Armenteros, who scored 27 goals between them last season, Lammers will turn to wingers Nikolai Laursen and Emil Hansson, who netted 33 times between them in 2022-23, to provide a goal threat along with new signings Jizz Hornkamp and Mario Engels.
Teenage duo Diego van Oorschot and Antionio Satriano were on the scoresheet in the 2-0 win over Helmond last weekend, and Heracles are now gearing up for one of their toughest fixtures of the season away against Ajax, where they have failed to pick up a single Eredivisie point since March 2009 when they drew 2-2. Ajax pre-season form: Heracles pre-season form: Advert - content below: Team News Having already bid farewell to Dusan Tadic, Jurrien Timber, Calvin Bassey and Edson Alvarez this summer, last season's top scorer Mohammed Kudus is not expected to be involved this weekend amid interest from Brighton & Hove Albion.
Ajax have since moved to appoint Maurice Steijn as their new permanent manager – the 49-year-old making the next step in his coaching career after narrowly missing out on European qualification with Sparta Rotterdam last season. Steijn is yet to make a notable impact with Ajax, though, who ended pre-season in disappointing fashion, losing three of their final four friendly fixtures against Anderlecht (3-0), Augsburg (3-1) and Borussia Dortmund (3-1), losing to the latter last Sunday.
Remko Pasveer (hand fracture), Ahmetcan Kaplan (knee), Kian Fitz-Jim (ankle) and Amourricho van Axel Dongen (knock) all remain in the treatment room, while Steven Berghuis, who recovered from a knock to feature as a substitute in last weekend's friendly loss to Dortmund, is suspended for the opening game of the new season. Steven Bergwijn and Brian Brobbey scored 30 goals between them in all tournaments last season and both attackers are expected to be involved on Saturday, as will summer signing Carlos Borges.
