Ajax completed their final training session Saturday in preparation for the away game against Sparta. Alfred Schreuder's team will play eleventh position Sparta at Het Kasteel this Sunday from 2:30pm.
Ajax have only won their last two matches at Sparta Rotterdam by a narrow 0-1 margin, so they will be wary. The squad had its fifth and final training session of the week on Saturday.

Ahmetcan Kaplan signed a contract for the Ajax first team this week and is only the second Turkish player ever to do so. Only Mustafa Yücedag was before the 19-year-old defender.
