Zinchenko Injures Knee Minutes Into First Ajax Start With Severity Unknown

Ajax say MRI scans in the coming days will determine the extent of the left‑knee damage from his home debut.

Overview

  • The Ukraine international went down after a clash with Dimitrios Limnios less than three minutes into the match and was helped off by medical staff.
  • Manager Fred Grim said the team does not yet know how serious the problem is and that an MRI is scheduled for tomorrow or the day after.
  • Ajax defeated Fortuna Sittard 4-1 to extend their unbeaten run to 10 matches despite the early setback.
  • Zinchenko joined Ajax from Arsenal in January on a short-term deal reported at around €1.5 million after a limited loan spell at Nottingham Forest.
  • His availability for Ukraine’s March World Cup qualifier and potential World Cup participation is in doubt pending scan results, with some outlets reporting ACL concerns as unconfirmed speculation.
