Ahmetcan Kaplan will not play for Ajax in the coming months. The defender suffered a serious injury on his left knee during a recent training, which leaves him unable to play for an undetermined period of time.
The nineteen-year-old Turk, who transferred from Trabzonspor this summer, was successfully operated. Kaplan has yet to play for Ajax 1.
The training camp in Marbella ended on Saturday with a match against Blackburn Rovers. Alfred Schreuder's team lost 0-2
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. Last weekend Lorenzo Lucca became the first Italian player in club history to make his debut in the main squad. In short, the number of foreign Ajax players is steadily increasing.
Ajax has reached agreement with Ahmetcan Kaplan and Trabzonspor on the Turkish player's transfer to Amsterdam. The 19-year-old defender signed a five-year contract with immediate effect, which runs until 30 June 2027.
