AZ don begin the season well, but one bad news be say them don lose Troy Parrott to Real Betis this week. But on Friday, coach Leeroy Echteld get good news: Jordy Clasie and Jizz Hornkamp don return to the squad for the away match against Fortuna Sittard on Saturday afternoon.
Clasie, wey be the captain, no play since the preseason because of injury. Even without am, AZ still hammer PSV 4-0 for the Johan Cruijff Schaal, beat ADO Den Haag 2-0, and also win FC Utrecht 4-1. So the team dey do well, but now Clasie don come back.
Hornkamp na different story. The striker don dey out since March because of serious ankle injury. Echteld say the guy don dey train well, but dem go take am gradually. “We go still see how e go be, day by day. He need to get more minutes, but e dey improve,” the coach talk.
Even though both players don return, Clasie no go start. Echteld say he dey available but go dey on the bench. That means Dave Kwakman go still start again. The young Volendammer don play every minute of every official match this season.
Echteld talk say “I know Dave for long time, and against FC Utrecht he don show sey im don mature. He fit play well, but if e understand better wetin e need to do every week, im go progress.” So the coach get confidence for am.
For Fortuna Sittard, dem also start the season well. Under Danny Buijs, dem draw 2-2 with PSV after dey 2-0 down, and then beat SC Cambuur 3-1. So Saturday match go be tough for AZ.
