AFC Ajax goalkeeper Bogdan Lobont could struggle to be fit for their UEFA Cup last 32 fixture against AJ Auxerre after breaking a finger in training.
Six-week absence
The 26-year-old Romanian international had only just recovered from a knee injury sustained in late October when he suffered this fresh blow, fracturing a bone in the middle finger of his right hand. Ajax medical staff believe he could be out for six weeks.
Auxerre encounter
Lobont, who has played only five Eredivisie and two UEFA Champions League matches this season, hoped to be back in time for the first leg at home to Auxerre in the third week of February, or at least the return match the following Thursday. Ajax are in the UEFA Cup after finishing third in their Champions League group.
