Having missed the UEFA Champions League group opener against Sporting Lisbon in Portugal a fortnight ago, the 21-year-old is hoping to make a huge statement in the competition this season.

Mohammed Kudus has horrible memories in the UEFA Champions League, picking his first major injury on his debut against Liverpool last season.

However, the strong midfielder has worked his way back and is currently an important member of manager Erik Ten Haag's team.

"I have seen their selection and it is great. They are confident, but so are we. You can clearly see the pattern with them that they have players who are technical, but who can also play robustly," the manager said in a pre-match press conference.
"Opponents then play a bit more openly. We are sometimes a bit too impatient in home matches. Then you have to realize that a draw is also a good result. We then keep chasing the win and then you sometimes get the lid on the nose. watch."

Ajax have been in top form this season, scoring goals for fun, including the 5-1 victory at Sporting on the opening night.

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that, Ghanaian winger, Kamal Sowah, has been included in Club Brugge's squad for the trip to Germany to face Bundesliga giants RB Liepzig in the UEFA Champions League.

The 21-year-old put up an excellent performance on his champions league debut against Paris Saint Germain, and has since been a key member of Club Brugge.

In photos posted by the club on Twitter, sighted by YEN.com.gh, the former Leicester City player is seen on the plane for the trip to Germany.
