Ajax secures Klaassen' return, Berghuis sidelined for weeks

Klaassen makes an emotional homecoming

Fans of Ajax Amsterdam erupted in joy as the return of Davy Klaassen to their beloved club was officially announced. The 30-year-old midfielder, who had departed Ajax in 2017 for Everton, has signed a contract that will keep him with the Dutch giants until 2026.

Klaassen's departure from Ajax five years ago left a void in the team, and his return has been met with immense excitement. The Netherlands international, who has made 53 appearances for his country, is known for his versatility, creativity, and leadership qualities.

Berghuis faces injury setback

The return of Klaassen has been tempered by the news that Steven Berghuis will be sidelined for several weeks due to an ankle injury. The winger, who has been a key player for Ajax this season, sustained the injury in a recent training session.

Berghuis has been in impressive form for Ajax, scoring 11 goals and providing 14 assists in all competitions this season. His ability to score and create chances has been crucial to Ajax's success, and his absence will be a significant blow to the team.

Looking ahead

Despite the setback with Berghuis, the return of Klaassen has boosted the spirits at Ajax. The midfielder's presence will add experience and quality to the team, and he is expected to play a vital role in Ajax's pursuit of domestic and European silverware.

With Klaassen back in the fold, Ajax will look to build on their impressive start to the season. They currently top the Eredivisie table and are through to the knockout stages of the Champions League. The return of a fan favorite in Klaassen will only serve to galvanize the team as they aim to achieve success on multiple fronts.
