The Spanish coach confirmed that key players Wout Weghorst and Owen Wijndal are available for selection, providing a major boost to a squad fighting for a third-place finish.\n\nThe return of these two players is more than just a lineup change; it's a statement of intent. Weghorst, a powerful and experienced striker, offers a direct and physical threat that can unsettle any defense. Wijndal, a dynamic left-back, provides crucial width and defensive stability. Their presence gives García more tactical flexibility and depth at a time when every point is critical in the tight race for European qualification.\n\nAjax currently finds itself in a precarious position, sitting one point behind NEC in the battle for third place. With only two matches remaining—against Utrecht and then SC Heerenveen—the margin for error is nonexistent. A third-place finish is not merely a matter of pride; it carries significant financial and sporting implications, likely securing a direct route into a major European competition next season.\n\nGarcía's update also included positive news on midfielder Davy Klaassen, who has been training with the group. While not explicitly confirmed for the matchday squad, his progress adds another layer of experience and quality to the options available. This depth could prove decisive in the high-pressure environment of the season's final stretch.\n\nThe Ajax manager drew confidence from his team's recent performance in a hard-fought draw against champions PSV. \"I felt a strong mentality within the group,\" García stated. \"The match against PSV showed the team's character. The players reacted well to the early goal against and remained mentally strong. We played against a very strong team and showed personality at the important moments.\"\n\nThat resilience will be tested again on Sunday. Matches between Ajax and FC Utrecht are traditionally intense, local derbies filled with passion and high stakes. García expects nothing different this time, especially with both teams having clear objectives. \"They are a strong team with clear ideas and a lot of intensity,\" he warned. \"They have had a good season so far and are difficult to play against because of their good organization.\"\n\nFor Ajax, the challenge is to channel the positive energy from the PSV result into a dominant performance at home. García emphasized the need for focus from the very first whistle. \"We expect a tough match, certainly in this phase of the season. We will have to be focused from the first minute and play with energy, ambition, and discipline,\" he insisted.\n\nThe psychological aspect is just as important as the tactical one. With the pressure of a title race long gone, replaced by the specific, intense pressure of a top-three battle, maintaining composure is key. García noted the good concentration in training this week but also stressed the need for calm. \"The players know that these last matches will determine a lot for next season, so there is confidence in what is to come. But at the same time, we must remain calm and have confidence in our own game.\"\n\nThe return of Weghorst and Wijndal directly addresses this need. Their experience and quality can help steady the ship and provide the cutting edge required to break down a well-organized Utrecht side. It allows Ajax to field a more complete and balanced lineup, increasing the probability of controlling the game and securing a vital three points.\n\nAs the Eredivisie enters its final weekend, the picture for third place remains delicately poised. Ajax's fate is in their own hands, but they must deliver two perfect performances. The availability of key personnel for the first of those tests is a welcome development, setting the stage for a dramatic conclusion to the Dutch league season.\n\nBased on reporting from Voetbal International.","news","Ajax manager Oscar García confirms Wout Weghorst and Owen Wijndal are available for the crucial Eredivisie match against FC Utrecht, as the club battles for","326257563463061504","Heerenveen","328234836110086145","326135624748765184","Eredivisie","327054594863534080","Heerenveen vs Ajax","2026-05-08T16:06:03Z","ajax-s-weghorst-wijndal-return-for-utrecht-what-it-means","Voetbal International","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vi.nl\u002Fnieuws\u002Fgarcia-prijst-mentaal-sterk-ajax-en-is-beducht-voor-pittig-utrecht",[63,68,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87],"326257563387564032","326255040320770048","326257536372051968","326257546094448640","326257551245053952","326257554264952832","326222707169431552","326222713142120448",[64,69,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96],"Utrecht","FK Zalgiris Vilnius","Metz","Tottenham","WSG Wattens","Wellington Phoenix","Anderlecht","Canada","Ajax's Weghorst & Wijndal Return for Utrecht: What It Means",[99,127,160,184],{"awayTeamId":100,"awayTeamName":101,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":102,"homeTeamId":63,"homeTeamName":64,"id":103,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":104,"matchName":105,"publishedAt":106,"slug":107,"sourceName":108,"sourceURL":109,"teamId":110,"teamName":111,"teamIds":112,"teamNames":119,"title":126},"326257563194626048","PSV Eindhoven","Michel, recently relegated with Girona, takes the helm at Ajax on a contract until 2028.
