During the press conference, Farioli offered updates on the availability of several players. The coach stated that there's a strong possibility Brobbey will be included in the squad on Wednesday evening. "Brobbey partially trained with the team yesterday. There’s a chance he’ll train fully today and be available for selection tomorrow," said the head coach.
Farioli also clarified the status of Devyne Rensch and other players. Rensch will not be available tomorrow, nor will the players previously listed as unavailable: Daniele Rugani, Sivert Mannsverk, Gastón Ávila, and Mika Godts. However, there was optimism regarding the Belgian winger. "Godts is recovering well and might be available on Sunday."
FC Utrecht
Farioli spoke about the team's focus and objectives during the press conference. "We need to concede fewer goals, that's clear. We want stability; that's what we're striving for,” he said. The coach also pointed out that Ajax isn't solely responsible for how the match unfolds. "We’re not the only ones on the pitch; the game also depends on the opponent. We need to be able to deal with them and fight when required."
"At FC Utrecht, every player works hard for each other. They help one another and have a clear style of play. They often find the right solutions," Farioli concluded.
