Ajax line-up: Míchel changes starting XI in one position against Atalanta

Ajax face Atalanta in the Conference League on Thursday. Míchel Sánchez has named the home side's line-up for the 21:00 kick-off.

In goal, Marc ter Stegen starts, with Lucas Rosa at right-back and Owen Wijndal again at left-back. Youri Baas and Aaron Bouwman form the heart of the Amsterdam side's defence.

Sofyan Amrabat, Jorthy Mokio and Davy Klaassen make up Ajax's midfield, as they did against FC Groningen. On that occasion, though, Klaassen played as a withdrawn right winger.

Up front, Ajax start Julian Brandt, Marcos Leonardo and Oscar Gloukh. Viktor Tsygankov, Abdellah Ouazane and Tolu Arokodare are among those who must settle for places on the bench.

Ajax line-up: Ter Stegen; Rosa, Bouwman, Baas, Wijndal; Amrabat, Klaassen, Mokio; Brandt, Leonardo, Gloukh.
